I agree lunch is the worst time of the day.
I would talk to a special ed support staff or an understanding teacher about creating a lunch club, outside of the lunch room inviting the less sociable students and maybe play a board game during that time. It is a good way to make freinds who have the same social disabilites as you and great to practice social skills.
I am a high school support person for students on the spectrum. We have a quiet lunch room for many students that have a hard time being in the crowded, noisy lunch area. Students are welcome to come during lunch any day, and many find it a better atmosphere. They are welcome to use computers, Ipods, read books, etc...or just socialize with friends quietly. I think more schools should have this option.
