Or get involved. Find an organized group that shares your passion. Friendships emerge best when you're doing something that is worth while in itself. That's where the good people tend to hide. And that's where you can shine as an asset rather than a burden. Then, if they don't work as friends, you'll still have the project or volunteer work or church group or whatever.
Volunteering never really worked for me, volunteers are not all good people when it comes to being good friends.
A good friend won't judge you, a good friend will speak for you when others "put dirt on you"
that is hard to find, but you should also do your work. A friendship takes work, you have to invest on it.
When I was in art school I had a few good friends, I found that art students are much more accepting of "weirdos" than the general population.
On the other hand, if you're into science, then I'm sure there's a lot of aspies among scientists.
Go find your passion and do your best, people will come to you for admiration and respect.
PS:I was a weirdo and I'm not implying that you are
