Is this such a big deal?

Short answer, the town is full of prats.
I can relate, a very good friend of mine has a mild case of some sort of mental condition but I don't care, I've always just seen him as the fellow spaghetti-loving, foosball dominating gifted musician he is. Back in primary school I stuck by him, I was often commended by teachers for it but at points my own friends who claimed they were his friend to abandoned me and him.

The town relies on social networking sites like FaceBook, and her mum had posted something like "so glad my daughter's boyfriend gets along with my baby boy" and I hope you can see where it goes from there.Woodsey said:
Hang on, hang on. You fought the local rich boy and people dislike you for it? Again, this makes no sense. Ordinary people love to see the rich taken down a peg or two.InnerRebellion said:
If the (frankly insane) situation you're describing is true then yes, your town is full of twats. I suggest you move.
Sad thing is, I guessed you lived in America before you even said. Though, there are picks all over the world. Your town seems to have an alarmingly high concentration though.InnerRebellion said:
You should move, and take your GF and her family with you. A town like that sounds like a terrible place to live.
You, sir, must be living in Poncy McPonceville. Obviously the people you live with have no compassion or regard for the disabled. Be proud that you're the better man.
The ironic thing is that these people don't realise everyone is somewhat autistic on the scale of autism.
They're a bunch of insensitive uneducated pricks who aren't worth anyone's time or effort.
Don't bother even sparing a moment's thought over them. Just focus on better things, like the fact you get on really well with your girlfriend's family.

Jesus! Where the hell do you live? I can't believe a whole town of people could be like that, what's wrong with people?
Your town sounds terrible! To label someone an undesirable in the first place is kind of disgusting, but to not associate with you for talking to him is plain ridiculous. It sounds like you live in a very small and very backwards town (no offence). Ignore them, keep talking to her brother if you want because he deserves a good friend, everyone else is ignoring him. It was good of you to talk to him. I know a few people with low levels of autism, barely anyone knows because they're so well socialised it doesn't matter. I'm not sure what your girlfriends brother is like but it doesn't help an autistic person if everyone treats them with such disgust. Man I'm sorry but your town sounds really horrible! It was good of you to talk to him 
Good luck with the situation.

What you did was a good deed and also helps restore my faith in humanity a bit. No, I don't see it as such a big deal. If the townspeople are going to ignore you for being nice to someone than I think you should just ignore the townspeople right back.
In my opinion I would happily do a good deed and be ignored for it.
