How do you receive forgiveness from a friend with Asperger's Syndrome?

Same as from anyone else. However, a lot of us find that rational arguments and appeals to logic are more effective than apologies on an emotive base. So I'd suggest just saying "Look, here's what I did wrong, it was unintentional, sorry about that."
Also, don't confuse forgiveness with forgetting. People with Asperger's often have excellent memories. Simply because they might not forget what happened does not mean that they have not forgiven you.
ADDENDUM:
In the year since I answered this question, I have got married. I've found that the last sentence above can be problematic; for me, missteps in the past are ancient history, while my wife can find them difficult. I often find myself mentioning things she feels embarrassed about, which she sees as a criticism; for me, however, they're simply relevant to the conversation, or random factoids that catch my attention at the time.
And that's what I suspect can flummox NTs. For Aspies - in my experience, of course - forgiven is forgiven. It's history; in the past, forgiven but remembered, and simply fact without emotional weight. For NTs, they can still be embarrassing or painful memories.

Do some people with Aspergers Syndrome have selective mutism?
I have aspergers and find myself a chatterbox to a friend and rather silent to my mother. IDK :p She gets annoyed though but what can i say? People with aspergers may or may not experience selected mutism.
How would an Aspie gain the trust of a Neurotypical?
Within the category of neurotypical people there is a wide range. Some are not flexible enough to ever trust a person with Aspergers Syndrome. Some are. Friendship is basically the same whether you have Aspergers Syndrome or not. You and your friend have mutual interests, you are helpful to each other, you forgive each others faults, you do the best you can within your limitations. Everyone makes compromises, regardless of their typical or atypical mental condition.

Is a relationship with a person with asperger's syndrome doomed?
Not at all.People with Aspergers fall in love and care about people, just like people without Aspergers.The thing is, people with Aspergers have their own style of communication, and people without Aspergers have a different style of communication. Emotions manifest in certain ways in persons with Aspergers, and in slightly different ways with non-Aspergers. So sometimes two people both with Aspergers get along well, because they understand eachother, and can read each other's emotions better. Sometimes neurotypicals (that is, people without Aspergers) don't propperly read the emotions of someone with Aspergers, and vice versa. So there can be challenges in a neurotypical/Aspie relationship, but that relationship is not doomed. You just have to both learn to understand each other, which is perfectly possible if you both want to.The important thing to remember, is that each person with Aspergers is a unique individual with an individual personality, just like each person without Aspergers.I have Aspergers. My closest friend does also. We have a lot of affection for each other. Sadly, not everyone else understands me. But he does. Our friendship proves that we are capable of deep emotionally felt love.And it really is possible for a deep relationship to exist when one person is neurotypical (not aspergers) and the other has aspergers. But it does really help when you understand Aspergers.Aspergers: Capable of deep love, like anyone else.May have more subtle or different ways of showing emotion.Tended to be socially awkward when young. May have learned social skills in adulthood, or may still come across as a little weird.Will always have an Obsession. What this is about, depends on the individual. If he/she is in love with you, you may be their Obsession.
