Search Results: nice guy syndrome

Guy in question is a high-functioning aspie.

I know he is fidgety in nature (i. e twiddling fingers) but it becomes heightened when in my presence (i. e. he makes exaggerated movements and stops himself if someone comes around).

He would always offer to help me, very accommodating, tries to hang out with me alone (i. e. find chance to work together since we are project mates) . Are aspergers' often very nice by nature?

He initiated touch with me by resting his forearm on my thigh when reading stuff off my computer that was in front of me - he was seated next to me.

Often invade my personal space by leaning in and when i moved away a bit to see if he follows, he inched a bit closer as well.

I read that Aspies don't laugh a lot but he is so smiley around me (the little kid when he is showered with candy type of smile. He laughts at a lot of things I say even though they were just normal work stuff/not meant to be funny?

He finds excuses to call me too and seems overly concerned about my opinion of him? Has an eager to please streak? He would often apologise if he thinks he let me down in some way, though they are not the least bit serious?
