I'm mildly autistic myself. I have asperger syndrome although I don't think it really shows much.
I find it easier if people are direct with me. Polite phrases such as would you like to" when you actually want them to do something is completely lost and can only add to confusion. That phrase completely threw me when someone first used it. I also find sarcasm hard to understand. I'm aware people use it but often find it hard to get.
I also find it hard when people change plans. It tends to throw me.
I think Autistic people tend to vary a lot. Some might want you to communicate in differant ways like with a board as they don't speak although I speak. So that varies.
Also be aware that Autism on the asperger level is very much an invisible disablity so the people you meet might not look or act 'autistic' at all. Sometimes you can't really tell.
