Do you know any other teens at school with Asperger's?

I'm not sure. That is to say, I think I'm the only one in my grade with it. (At my school anyway.)
There is however a boy in the grade above me who I think might have AS. We're in the same geometery class. He acts a lot likes other Aspies, and shows a lot of the symptoms (bouncing walk, stimming, very quiet, ect). I worked with him once and was amazed by how much like me he seemed (that was before I knew I had AS). I'd ask him, because it would be cool to actually know someone like that in real life, but it's not something you just ask.
There should be more - there's 720 kids in our high school - but I don't know them offhand. We don't have an Aspie class at our school - if there's something wrong everyone either gets thrown into learning disablities or anger management. It'd be nifty to know others though.

Since I was put in a "social skills" class with other aspies, I know quite a few (6 guys, 3 girls).

I don't know if there are going to be any at my Middle School or not. Hmmm.

Yes I know one aspie from school!!

well at my skewl they're nearly all hav hfa nt as, there is 1 kid whos joining my skewl when i go bak and im lookin forward 2 that

My friend, Sarah, has asperger's and we went to school together from sixth grade through ninth grade. Then I had to move, so yeah. Anyway, my mom met someone on a forum with a daughter who also has asperger's and we did get to meet each other. But we didn't really get along. She enjoyed acting kooky and random in public and I've been harrassed so much that I'm scared to death of being around anyone like that. Also, my mom once dated a guy with a son whom had asperger's but he was waaaay too shy and he dissed my mom so we didn't like him. And my mom's boss right now has an eleven-year-old daughter with asperger's as well. I most likely won't meet her because of the huge age difference between eleven and seventeen. So I do know (and have heard of) a lot of people with asperger's.

Yes, there was one I knew, but he's left.

I know one. He doesn't go to my school, though; he goes to church with me. I don't know any at school, though . I know one kid who might be HFA or autistic. He's in special education classes, though, and I don't see him at all. He's in 10th grade. He's pretty interesting, actually, even though he has a bit of a speech problem and I sometimes have to ask him to repeat what he's saying. I feel bad about that, to some extent. I want to work with the special education kids, though, for my senior project; not because they're weird or anything, but they're genuinely interesting and nice people. I would talk to Marko sometimes, and we both ate our lunches the same way and stuff. It was cool.

At high school, I had a friend who is HFA and she was problably one of the craziest people I've known. She's a lot of fun to be around and she's always laughing (I'm not exaggerating.). I also have a couple of friends who have siblings on the autism spectrum.

No, I don't know any other Aspie in my school although it would be so cool to meet another Aspie there. It's truly wicked. I've been to six different school and only in my elementary school there was a special girl I liked a lot until they took her out of school and there was this amazing boy, who showed lots of Aspie traits. I don't know him anymore, I wish I would have talked to him in ES, but at that time I was still too shut off to realise I would have been able to walk over to his seat and talk to him.

I know a few people at my school whom I am sure have AS. One is a jerk, the other two are nice, but underappreciated.

I know two, one male, one female, but I don't talk to either of them a whole lot.

I do talk to someone who could very well be an AS, but I don't know if he is or not.

I know one who might be AS and I know one who is definitely AS.

I can change my answer now. I know lets see... 6 boys and 1 girl. yup. I of the guys it turned out is a friend of mine ( found out because we went to an aspie group at school and he was ther, I don't think he knows thats what it is, and the group sucks majorly, and he's really weird, and we mostly avoid him round our group.)

I knew two friends who have AS. Of course, I only found out recently, and one was a good friend of mine (haven't seen him in a while... I'll drop by his place tomorrow).

The second I hated the guts out of. Honestly, just mention his name and I started getting resentful. He was constantly following me throughout school, and he lived a short way away from me, so he followed me on the way home as well (he also said that the number of power poles between my house and his was 11. I checked the following afternoon... ...he was right). Fortunately, finding out more about AS and it's troubles and all that stuff via the internet, Mark Haddon's latest book, and of course this website, has completely changed everything, and I can tolerate him a lot better now.

Apart from that, the only other person I suspect to have AS is my sister, but that's just because she's just plain weird...
