1. First of all be careful because this is becoming a pretty political issue. The PC stance is that there is just *differently* functioning autism, and Asperger's is the label given to those autistics very compatible with neurotypical society though they are in fact autistic. This is my stance also, with the added complication that I don't think autism is just one biological process/thing, I think it's more of a behavioural category.
3. I've only had one from coke, but I didn't notice it until I felt the drop of blood on my other skin. So, evaporation/wetness? But then coke is a topical anesthetic, so yeah I don't know.
4. Act casual but not unattractive and see how ze acts. The whole thing about coffee is that it can be anything, and your friend knows this, so if you don't like hir like that it's not going to be offensive.
5. I dunno, Hobbes seems to have got it right in some ways. My first excuse to myself to clear out "bad thoughts" is always "well think of the consequences." Even without a state and formal law, local custom would get you offed/hurt if you did something wack.
