My boyfriend has autism, I don't. How will it affect him if I break up with him?

I am planning to break up with my boyfriend -- I just don't want to be in a relationship right now. He is autistic. I know he has depression and becomes attached to stuff easily (stuff being me in this case). Is there any way I can do this safely?My boyfriend has autism, I don't. How will it affect him if I break up with him?
Be very kind. Contact his family and advise them ahead of time. It will help your boyfriend out tremendously and provide him with some emotional support. Autism is a lifelong disability that makes these types of life experiences extremely difficult to say the least.
