Mostly people have just told me I'm "weird" without a valid explanation of what that means. My former friends also ditched me because I moved away for four months to study, and therefore didn't respond to their texts or calls to spontaneously go out because it was physically impossible for me to make it with five hours travel time between us. This was apparently "snubbing," not simply the laws of physics. Everyone I knew ditched me because I'm transgendered, too. I think I may have lost the opportunity of making new acquaintances last night when I let the atheist cat out of the bag and couldn't validate their flimsy evidence of "religious experience." It just goes on and on.
1. To add to the warehouse scenario, which was work supported, most of the co-workers there didn't like me and found every excuse. - I talked too much - I shaved my head - I got into college and decided that I was going to one day outgrow the job coach (Which I finally did). - I wore licensed tee-shirts - I like anime - I studied during my break time. - My interests - My Beliefs
2. I had a friend who I met at a sheltered workshop whose mother grew to despise me once she found out that I was able to go to college despite being in Special Ed next to being able to live on my own. Every time I interacted with her she had an attitude with me. She always tried to talk down to me. Why it was so bad that she didn't bother inviting me to my friend's 30th that she threw for her. This was even though she knew that I meant something to her child but she didn't care. My aunt had even taken them to Disney World two years in a row and everything.
3 I have family who dislike me just because I have autism thanks to silly stereotypes and many misunderstandings about Autism.
I liked Benny & Joon too much Because I wear diapers and into AB/DL Because they thought I was slow or ret*d Because they thought I was dumb I talked funny Because they thought I was weird or a dork I wore pants that were too short I was clumsy so they thought I did it on purpose

At secondary school this girl I knew didn't want to be friends with me because I didn't come from a big family (meaning I only had one sibling, while she had four), and so she only wanted to hang out with this other girl (we both knew her) who also had a lot of siblings.
But I knew that weren't the real reason, because they let this other girl who was an only child, into their group. So it's obviously something about my eccentric ways that made them want to exclude me, not because of how big my family was.
In school I often got excuses by my other peers in special ed who told me that one of their parents didn't invite me because my being hyper was too much in addition to their child's hyperactivity. I was also told that their parents didn't understand me.
That was a lie because
1. I was trying to fit in at the time and said inappropriate things which gave them the idea that I was a slut 2. The other kids were envious of me because I was so much smarter than they were.

Happens to me all the time and a reason was never given. I spend all day thinking about why but the reality is, I really don't know. Maybe I remind them of some childhood trauma?
I find people in Austin to be extremely difficult to be friends with; they are often very superficial.
Even hanging out in "asperger's support group" or whatever they call it is of no help. I think some of them have far worse psychological conditions than just having asperger's... I've actually been ignored far more in those groups than by NT's. You'd think in a room full of aspies they'd understand right? Guess not.

i don't get how people believe one would be intentionally clumsy. not at all.

They say they don't like you but who they really don't like is themselves because they are frustrated that you have something that they really want. It usually means they are insecure
