You ought to put your foot down.
I'll bet your could find an NT or another ND fellow who treat you with courtesy and respect.

Honestly, I am not in a huge hurry to meet someone else new and actually, I don't think being autistic has anything to do with it. He doesn't even like to associate with being autistic. Rather, I think that's just his personality in general as he has always been kind of a stinker. I accept it because we have been friends for years.
I was sort of thinking maybe he just isn't that interested in like a serious committed relationship. He may see this as more of a sorta friends with benefits thing except maybe leans less towards the friends and more towards the benefits. Basically, you put in all the effort in the friendship/keeping contact part where he doesn't really reciprocate but he still gets the benefit of intimacy with you when he's up for it.
If you are after a committed relationship, I'd say you're probably wasting your time with him. But kind of seems you've already determined that and don't expect it of him. And not sure you are looking for a more serious relationship to begin with.
