Autistic Hedgehog

You seem to be very knowledgeable about autism so I was wondering if you could help me disabled representation in general? My... I'm not sure what the term for it is? Well-bodied? My well-bodiedness leaves me ignorant even though my boyfriend has aspergers and I really don't want to be offensive at all, I really just want to learn and bit and I wonder if you'd be willing to lend me your ear. If not its totally 100% okay and I don't want you to think I feel entitled to your teaching.
Just for reference in the future: I know some people don’t like to answer questions, and it can be tiring to educate others, but as long as I’m approached politely, without prejudice or assumptions, I’m always willing to answer. Having weighed it against the alternatives, I’ve decided I’d rather answer a thousand questions than let groups like Autism Speaks answer even one.
It’s really good that you want to know more. I’ve dealt with a lot of significant others who couldn’t be arsed, and it’s very disheartening. For starters, I actually answered a question about advice for dating autistic people about a week ago, with some basic tips, which you can find here. It’s sort of “Dating Autistics 101.”
Anything else you want to know, I’ll do my best to answer (and some of my fellow hedgehogs may chime in too, if they’re feeling like it). Since you care enough about your boyfriend to ask in the first place, I’ll do my best to help you learn what you need to know.
