From what i've gathered from my girlfriend, who has autism, i've noticed that a major thing is that they NEED structure in their lives. She will break down in tears if her structure gets messed with too much, or if there is no structure, because it is a core pillar of their lives. Another thing is that (at least with my girlfriend, which is exacerbated by other things) is that they can be brutally honest about how they feel or think.
Other than that, i'm really not the best on this topic, but i hope it helps people understand a little
Additional edit: Other things, thinking about it, can be "childish" behaviour. It varies from people to people, i assume, but based again on my only experience, obviously with the girlfriend, is that some things will excite her far more than most, but i don't see it as a bad thing, if she's happy, i'm all for it. She's also incredibly affectionate, though that may well have nothing to do with the autism, i'm no expert.
