It may sound really unhelpfull, but remember one thing: he did choose you, you don't know if he has had any bad experiences with friends before, or if he is incapable of making friends, because if this is the case, it's really special. i had one of those friends before, and he was autistic, but you couldn't see that at all from how he acted. I didn't know this either and with him i was really nice to him, but behind his back i did stuff like telling rumours and all. he got really sad and it had a HUGE impact on his life. this was a big mistake, and only afterwards i began to understand and put the pieces together, and only then i realized how nice he actually was. he cared for me. since you moved to a new place, I would really suggest to stay around this guy for a while, it might be annoying for a while, but i'm sure that soon you'll really like him, or that by showing friendship to him, others will respect you too.
p.s. if your interested, i made up with the autistic guy and we're best buddies again. i'm really glad about that
peace and good luck in your new home,
