There's an Aspie at my school who I REALLY hate.

Of course it sounds awful, especially because Aspies are expected to be nice to other Aspies, but this kid is a serious Arse-hole. He's one of those people who blames his Aspergers on EVERYTHING!
Example:
Him: Your a fat ______ prostitute
Person: What did you just call me???
Him: sorry that was my Asperger's.

He also uses his diagnosis to get out of trouble and to bend the rules. He's always trying to sit somewhere other than his assign seat, and when the teacher says he can't, he says he has a right to sit wherever he wants. He also tries to get on the computer without permission and use varios thing in the classroom or use his cell phone, and every time he get's in trouble he says he can do it because he has a right to because of his diagnosis. Last time I checked, I have to follow the rules JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, and I'm diagnosed with THE SAME EXACT THING AS HIM.

And what's worse is that he jokes about rape, drugs (especially cocaine), vaginas, pedofiles, race, and gay people IN FRONT OF THE TEACHER. He literally tried to tell my Rhetoric teacher a rape joke. He also always YELLS drug references when there's a powerpoint of someone not even remotely high looking, like if they're just smiling. He even said stuff so bad about one of my friends she almost killed herself (not even kidding)
Of course you people would think I'm being rude for not accepting a fellow Autistic person, but NONE of the Aspies at my school like the guy. NONE OF THEM. Not even his friend, who's always sighing and rolling his eyes when he's not looking, or yelling at him for thinking spitting in his face was a good idea as a joke. (this really happened a few month ago)
My point is, the kid obviously isn't Asperger's and just says he is to get away with things. Whether he has aomething MORE than Asperger's or is just an NT who doesn't want to get in trouble for ruining people's lives, I'll never know.

Probably an NT , A person of asperger's knows about his diagnosis - he uses criteria that doesn't even fit under asperger's.

I work with students (K - 12) who are on the spectrum; I also do consultation for students who have been given a diagnosis, many of whom I find to NOT be on the autism spectrum at all. Mis-diagnosis is a serious problem for those truly diagnosed with Autism/Asperger's, because there are individuals out there, like your peer at school, who give others the wrong impression about the nature of the disorder. Often parents are seeking this diagnosis because it is socially acceptable and gives them an excuse for raising a selfish, defiant brat who knows and understands what is socially acceptable but just thinks the rules do not apply to him. We refer to them as "pain-in-the-ass-perger's" - there are some who have a comorbid diagnosis, but most of them are just misdiagnosed. Awareness is great, but over-diagnosis due to misdiagnosis is a problem for everyone!

He may or may not have it. It could be he acts this way at school because he gets away with whatever he wants at home because he has Aspergers.

I think everyone--spectrum and NT--is a jerk at least occasionally, but I believe those of us on the spectrum may be less inclined to it because we are treated like jerks and freaks even when we are not being jerks, so we tend to shy away from being really bad on purpose, to minimize the bad treatment from other people. I know I occasionally did bad things on purpose, but mostly tended to avoid doing bad things to keep from being given more of a hard time by others. I was already getting a lot of grief because of being different. I am sorry for the few really bad things I did.

Your misbehaving classmate does not sound like he is on the spectrum, but rather, like he is milking an opportunity to get away with whatever he can. It also seems like he is not getting any discipline at home, either. Too bad. His parents are ruining the kid. Once he is an adult, the real world isn't going to give him a free pass to be a brat. He is likely to get beat up somewhere down the line, due to his nasty behavior, and he is also likely to commit crimes, because he will think he can still get away with stuff, but then he will end up in jail eventually.

I think a group of you spectrum kids need to go to the teachers and let them know that this kid is not on the spectrum, he is just a brat milking a misdiagnosis.

Don't let it get you too upset. Eventually he will get his comeuppance. And remember, we on the spectrum are all:

A Different Drummer

If a man does not keep pace with his companions,
Perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music which he hears,
However measured or far away.

--Henry David Thoreau

Regardless of whether this guy is on the spectrum; he is a living hazard. Once out of school he will be his own demise.

I am sorry you have him in your environment.
