My brother has Asperger's. (Which isn't really a thing now with the new DSMV but don't get me started). He's well into middle age and after struggling to be an adult for a long time he fell in love with and married this women who frankly I have a very difficult time tolerating but she was so good for him. She just got him on a level none of us ever have been capable of (she probably also has Asperger's according to her). They got divorced several years ago and his life has fallen apart. Huge, major, legal issues from hell, fell apart. She's been there as a friend and honestly it's the times he copes best, when he's spent time with her. It makes her harder for me to dislike her (she was big on insensitive comments regarding bipolar and was also very loud and very hard to tolerate; she always required at least one PRN to handle any time with her). But if you can be that friend for her, the one who helps life be ok, you've done something really special.

What you are describing does sound manic and maybe just confused (which mania can do). It's so hard to understand and to explain. Which is why people who stick it out are so helpful. I have a friend who for years let me attack him when I was manic and mean. I finally said "no, don't let me do that anymore" and worked on it in therapy and I haven't attacked him in years for being closest when I was paranoid. The paranoia is my responsibility and while I can't control it and can't control all of my response I can use coping skills to minimize the damage, which in that case means not yelling at him for no good reason. But he was there no matter what I was going through and it meas a lot.
