I'm an Aspie and a motormouth. As much as I try, I don't get the clues to shut up. My friends know to just tell me that's enough. Doesn't hurt my feelings and if I'm really interested in what I'm saying, I'll still keep on yammering away. Couldn't stop myself even if I tried. That being said, there is no way I would wait for someone and ask for a ride home.
There are some serious red flags here: The laying in wait, the coming to your home, the veiled comments about his past life. Those are not Aspie traits. We're not that subtle. Not sure what you can do about it at this point. You can't get a restraining order just because someone annoys you. It sounds like you're afraid of what he might do if you tell him to leave you alone, so, until he truly does something, you're between the proverbial rock and hard spot. Maybe you'll get lucky and he'll find someone new bother soon. My sympathies.
BTW -- Most Aspies are not all that verbal, just some of us are. Social clues, especially facial, don't exist to us -- we just can't read when we're irritating someone no matter how much we try. Foot in mouth is very common and there are few verbal inhibitions. Boundaries are not in our mindset. And, no, we don't particularly care if what we say is interesting to you, it is to us and that's enough. (Sorry)
