When is this going to stop?!

I think at this point you should take action against them.
Are you in high school, or college? If you're still in high school, go to the principal, or someone else high up in the administration, and report it. Especially if teachers are doing it to. This is legitimate harassment, and the fact that you have AS makes it that much worse; they are discriminating against you, and you can get them all in a lot of trouble if you do something about it.

If you're in college, I recommend you email your professors in one mass email. Type out a letter about how you have AS and if they continue to harass you (because, again, this really is harassment) that you will go to the administration and report it as such.
If the professors stop, then maybe the students will take the hint. If they don't, then you could also ask your professors to try and exert their authority over the students doing it.

If it's people who you don't have this level of reporting capability over, then I recommend writing our a letter explaining this whole thing. Write that you have AS, and this is why you're quiet, and if they continue to harass you (I can not stress this wording enough lol), they are discriminating against an autistic individual, and this is down right wrong.
Carry that letter around with you so that you can read it aloud when you're being harassed. If that's too much for you (I know it would be for me...), then make copies of the letter and always carry 10 or 15 of them with you, and hand them out.

I know it's extreme, but this needs to stop. Especially if this is really hurting you and your well being.

Good luck. I hope things work out...
