If communication with the instructor is expected in order to do well in the class or to get a good grade in the class allow as much as possible that communication to occur online. Also communicate that emailing the instructor outside of the class period is expected.
Provide opportunities to test out of classes or sections of classes and make sure that such opportunities are stated on the syllabus.
Not only having handouts for lecture notes but also having the handouts available online. If attendance is mandatory have it available by the day before, if it is not mandatory then wait until after the class period is over to post it.
Provide social activities that are geared toward such people. High functioning Autistic people really are sometimes social, but extremely differently so. Boardgames such as settlers of Catan or other German style games are good as they give social events with a minimal amount of uncomfortable interactions, if that makes sense (Apples to Apples and other such social board games are not good).
