Yes, they do. People tend to really dislike my presence, even if I am quiet and stuff..

Ditto to that, it really gets me down at times.

am treated as a burden by neighbours,own family [not every single member,on either mums or dads side],treated as a burden in every residential home am move into by staff,and learning disability residential services/adult social services,because they found it impossible to find a place for am and did not think was worth the funding for own adapted bungalow.
It's only thanks to the NAS,social worker,LD-nurse,advocates and sister that am being transferred to a completely different organisation and res. home for severe autism/high complex needs,who understands am and dont think of am in terms of funding,they think of am as a person.

am don't care if people want rid of am,and in fact think people who want rid of other people for no reason other than differences have got bigger problems themselves.,no one should be treated like crap because someone has got a problem with self.

On the phone, people end our conversations with "Sorry, Jeff, I have to go I will call you back in the evening.." and they never call.
People don't return my emails.
People get turned off around me.
People who were warm and friendly to their companions a minute ago, are cold and awkward with me.
If I am quiet, people dislike the sad expression on my face, and my tense body language.

I can only get along with people if I think of them as customers at work.

Right. I agree. We should make a hard effort to fit in and to get along with others, really try to understand the inappropriate things that we as aspies may do and try cut down on these, or to find socially acceptable alternatives. At the end of the day, we are looking for people who accept us as we are (but we should still try very hard to not do things that bother other people.)

I am not sure that everyone wants to rid themselves of me, but I do believe I am able to make some people happy just by leaving.

I don't see people queueing up to be with me. Most people avoid me and ignore me. I don't feel very wanted at all.

I used to feel that way, now not so much. Yes I am unpopular and not well liked but I feel loved by my friends.

Nobody's trying to get rid of me.

Nobody's ever near me.
