I'm quite popular at my school, but not very popular like as in "Do you like to come over?" and get presents for Christmas and birthdays.

For aspies like you and I, that out-of-class popularity is a theoretical ceiling. It may be achievable every once in a while, but the mental machinery breaks down, out of commission. I have gotten a surprise birthday party from a fairly gullible girl, but she is locked away from everyone for one guy. My popularity won't reach that critical stage for a while.

Who else hates the 'popular' kids? I hated them in primary school, always getting attention and crap. Everyone wanted to be them, but why? They're losers. Especially that girl I knew who had it in for me. All the guys wanted to date her. :roll:

I agree... i think this popularity thing is a load of BS...

ive never hung around normal people... ive always tended to stay within the special needs wing. and of course i for some reason tend to be attracted to everyone with straps... especially girls

(not sexually attracted)

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

My senior class now is apathetic and distant. Senioritis is rampant to where popularity cells are damaged. The juniors are over-achievers, but fairly nice. The folks that think they are popular are underclassmen poser emos who simply put money into a subculture without significant cynical mentality.

Hah@ Who cares! The popular kids tend to become the biggest losers anyway. One day those popular kids would be working for the Aspies >:D! I keep fantasizing about bossing around the 'popular' sluts in school when I get out of colege. A way of REVENGE!

In the "popular kids'" defense I know several who have turned over a new leaf and are actually very kind people. Many aren't, but some are.
For the ones that are not, I've always been told to just remember that being named Prom Queen/King will probably be their biggest achievement in life. And, really. There is sooo much more to live for than just popularity and I try to keep things in perspective and make the most of what I do have.

Plus, reverse discrimination is nasty stuff. Don't stoop to their level. We're better than that. Cliche, but true. :p
