Actually, I'd forgotten I'd invited him over. He noticed I was "off" so we ended up talking about bi-polar issues. Turns out he was a nurse, currently is a social worker, knows aaaaaaaaalllllll about bi-polar and was able to give some valuable suggestions and pointed out a few things I didn't know, for example my constant itchiness is a bi-polar side-effect, not an Aspie issue.

Turns out he's wanted to be good friends (read into that what you will) for a long time and didn't know how to approach me because of The Wall.
