Is inherited that people with AS will be lonley, i cannot seem to be happy any more i try so hard and fail so many times, why? I feel so left out, and i cant change it, my grand parents live in CA, and im in NC so it near impossible for me to visit them, because im to nervous to get on a plane alone for a trip across the US, and they are really bissy so they cant come get me. It sucks to be me

It can be a consequence of AS to be lonely, because we aren't born knowing how to read and interpret NT body language, which is very important to them. We seem strange and odd to them, and it frightens them, so they avoid and reject us.
But reading body language and being more socially appropriate are skills that can be learned and practiced, making it easier for us to meet and make friends. It takes time, but I've found it worth the effort.
And you have found Wrong Planet, so you aren't alone so much anymore.
