I have a roommate with Asperger's syndrome, any input how to deal with him?

First, understand that while he may have a disability, he is still responsible for his own actions, and don't treat him like a kid. Also, depending on how functioning he is, his parents may well have made provisions for him in case of their deaths. The key with people whose Asperger's makes them act "weird" is to not be afraid to tell them how their actions make you feel, and what your boundaries are. Don't try to run this guy's life, just try to help him understand how he's making your feel. Remember, he's a person as much as you.

People with Asperger's tend to (and would prefer to) live in their own world. That's not to say you should move out or stay away from him. He probably feels uncomfortable and insecure about his living situation as you are. Instead of giving up, you should encourage him and let him feel comfortable about being around and communicating with you. Also let him feel comfortable and invited whenever you bring friends or houseguests over. If he prefers to just stay in his room (I dunno if you're in a dorm or apt) let him know that's okay too. Try talking to him about his interests and what kind of dreams and ambitions he may have. If you're worried about him not getting a job in life you should encourage him to pursue careers in subjects he would most enjoy. People with Asperger's enjoy talking about things they like, so work with that. In the meantime, you can try working out a plan with him as to how basic house duties will be completed between the two of you. For example, you two can work out together who will collect and take out the trash and then assign a certain day/time of the week for it to be done. Sit down with him and talk about this together. Dont go around his back. He might be upset that you're talking to him about this at first, but encourage him by saying you want to help create a positive environment for both of you to live in and cooperate together. He probably needs time to get used to new ideas and plans so go easy on him for the first few weeks. He might eventually enjoy doing the same thing when arranged at the same certain time. And yes there are organization and career centers that can help people with Asperger's successfully pursue and get hired in careers they want. Look into a few and try to get him interested.

Need more info here. IF in college there should be programs set up to assist him. If out in the real world, check local agencies that are geared to help people with special needs. Find out what "sets" him off. For some it could be the type of lighting, certain sounds, or even smells. Adjust the environment, within bounds of course, to assist. Let him know that when certain aspects are bothering you that you need to get away or need him to move someone else. Use calm, reassuring words/tones when speaking with him when he has an episode. For some the simplist of changes can be a monumental crisis. While most people simply go around a piece of furniture that has been moved to him it could mean his "normal pattern" has been interfered with and can cause him to "act weird"
