Is it possible to be a cool Aspie?

The only time I was even remotely 'cool' was when I was 14, and playing in a professional orchestra. I was kind of their little mascot, and they thought I was a cool kid.

(None of the kids at my school ever thought that though... Ha!)

i abide so far beyond the realm of what ordinary people ('mundanes,' as i call them) are able to register as 'cool' that you would literally have a seizure if you knew how cool i am.

No. Self-confidence doesn't equal cool. No-one can be cool without self-confidence, but that alone isn't enough either.
I have been around enough people who had that, but most of them weren't cool. Being cool is about having something extra, something I can't even begin to put in words, but it's something you see and recognize when you see it.
As far as I can remember I have met exactly two people who had it.

Oh, and Sherlock too!

I think you have higher standards of coolness than I do. Coolness, to me, is being comfortable in your own skin and able to interact with the world. I think that's attainable for many Aspies.

Wow that is cool. You must have been a really outstanding player.

I am totally uncool and don't have a problem with that. Is that acceptable as well?

I've been told I'm cool by my 20 year old niece, my sister and in childhood had a few children copy my behaviour.

I think I'm a type of idiot genius geek with a severe mental illness. But I like Star Trek and in my mind anyone who likes Star Trek is cool.

I don't have a normal view of cool anymore. I look at my friends in bands, the rock stars, and they're not really as cool as you would at first think. They're 10 to 15 years older than me too.

I don't even know what cool means to me anymore. Air force pilots are kind of cool.

To be honest coolness is just a fashion trend.

Anyone with an iota of "Aspiness" would first ask for consensus on what criteria pertains to "cool"?

Wow! I've never heard it explained so succinctly and eloquently.

There is this guy named Alex Plank I have heard about he seems pretty cool.
His eyebrows and forehead work well together, they are smooth like butter mmmm

An undefinable one at that.

And like I said, if you are physically attractive to others, you can get away with a lot. I've people pay attention to me while I ramble on about stuff because I'm considered 'bangable'.

People think I'm a pretty cool person even though I'm pretty stupid when it comes to being social. People think that it's impossible for me to be autistic because I talk a lot and have a ton of interest in what I'm saying (usually), which helps me get away with a lot, but yeah, as they get to learn me on the other hand...

Anyways I think I'm too cool for school anyhow so

I think that it, for the most part, depends on the company you're with. For example, in school, I was bullied severely and was thought to be the loser of the school, and if I go visit my old best friend back in TX, her friends think I'm the epitome of uncool. However, on Tumblr, I'm somehow considered 'cool', have almost two thousand followers (and gain an average of ten followers a day on a typical week), am followed by several "tumblr famous" blogs, such as pizza, and in fact, got a message literally a few minutes ago saying "I cant get over how cool you are. You're just so cool like arctic freeze cool. YOUR BLOG IS JUST SO COOL. Cool", so it's really sort of a relative thing.
