How do NT's perceive you?
I annoyed my ex-girlfriend though, because I'd always be polite to a waitress and give her an exactly 15% tip regardless of how she was, 'cause that's what you're supposed to do (Plus I'm scared of confrontations, so that probably doesn't help...)
I dunno, but I've been called interesting, mysterious, weird, stoner, 'just a friend ' and god knows what else. I think that you're going to be looked at in a unique way by every person. If you're looking for a specific response, then you just need to remember the law of chance.

I was wrong, of course, but the next time I would do the same thing.
I think I pass for "normal" but I'm quite certain people think I'm "not all there." I think a couple of my friends have noticed that if they are sitting directly opposite me I will look in every other direction so I won't have to look directly at them. Domineering people tend to realize they can walk over me and take advantage. When I was younger people were put off by my obsessiveness over certain subjects, I've since learned to hide them.
most of the NT boys are mostly intimidated by me, but i never behave in that way..i am very polite to everyone.Nearly all the boys in my class are scared of me, both intellectually and physically...they think i have some secret power hidden in me(i have heard many boys warn others to stay away from me cause i am very dangerous)..i donno why, cause i am very peaceful guy and never fought with anyone. But the NT girls think completely different of me...most of them think i am the most sensible guy they met in their life...and they all think i am very old even though i am from the same age group. They always trust me and come to me for opinion(both technical and personal).
Ha great combination i think, NT boys scared of me... NT girls like me, you would think i have n number of girl friends, but no..i don't have a single girl friend.

I thought what i'd do was, i'd would pretend i was one of those deaf-mutes
Usually when first meeting new people, they think I am friendly, nice, personable, but usually in a relatively short period of time, they start seeing me as incredibly weird, different, and seem to be highly offended at my objectiveness, honesty and over-willingness to question everything. Some seem very intimidated and threatened by my openness about myself and my willingness to speak my mind.
And I agree with earlier posts about women being vicious. Before I knew I was aspie, I didn't get it. I thought I was being nice, honest, loyal but seem to get horrible reactions from other women and never could understand why they didn't like me... I think in part it's cuz I didn't play or understand the "game" the way most women do and don't have any of the "normal" characteristics in personality as other women. I also get along better with men as well.
When I was younger I got along with and felt more in tune with other adults. I never reached out to or paid attention much to other kids, unless it was in a rote way, looking at and studying them as though they were another species (or actually usually thinking it was ME that was another species).
