First take responsability of the family you have even if it has fallen apart, then figure out the rest. And take your time. Going into a new relation isn't something easy so reacting quickly and only based on your immediate feelings could have negative repercussions.
I have friends who have autism. Problem is autism ranges in a broad spectrum, so everyone is affected differently. One of these friends' mother hammered social ettiquette into her. Even though she finds it hard to show empathy and intuitively react in social situations, she has had these mannerisms codified out of repetition by her mother and it allows her to seemingly act normal is most social situations. And she's a good person in her heart, so that helps as well. Understanding how autism affects someone is a big deal in learning how to cope and react to it.
