You always have to ask, what do I want to see happen from giving such information? What will happen?
If you don't know what will happen, ask what is the worst thing that could happen? If the worst thing is more than you want to deal with, don't. If the worst thing is a few days of awkwardness, then go for it.
You're right of course. But it's also quite possible that he knows of this already. I happened to stumble across the Wikipedia page about Asperger's just a few months ago. Since he's a few decades older than me, and he works as a developer in the IT field where aspies are not uncommon, he might know way more than me about this already.
EDIT: Ok, I didn't realize the reply wasn't for me. Seems like I kidnapped yet another thread...
