I ll never make this mistake by telling them about my autism.
Exactly.
It's like...pick the lesser of the two evils. Either you cope with the fact that they understand nothing about you until they REALLY get to know you and will ACCIDENTALLY hurt you, or they know about your AS or ASD and may hurt you accidentally anyway.
Let's not forget it goes both ways, often the bluntness and honesty that comes from folks with AS is incredibly hurtful to NTs unless they know that it's you being honest, not going out of your way to hurt them

Did she expect you to jump up and run to the nearest table filled with people shoving food in their faces?
"Whoever eats alone, DIEEEESS ALOOOOONE!!"
Nice thing to think about when you're trying to enjoy your food.
You should thank her for engracing you with such enlightened, delightful yoda-isms. Prolly read it off a fortune cookie.

Merr, methinks you're taking it far too literally...funnily enough though she said 'those who eat alone DIE ALONE', death is the last thing on her mind. It's supposed to trigger the response 'oh, I'll sit with you tomorrow then', or something along those lines.
It's unfortunate, but in situations like this you cannot take the literal or dictionary definition of anything an NT is saying It results in you assuming they meant to hurt you when they were trying to be friends - unfortunately not realising that with this particular guy, that's not the best way of doing it
But you know what they say.
Easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
Eternal loneliness seems to the average joe to be worse than having to apologise for introducing themselves in a way deemed rude

She's a strange one alright. 'Take her with a grain of salt' is the best advice anyone could give at this point Don't take her too seriously, seems she either likes you or like-likes you. Lol. She's at the very least interested in you.
If she's too weird for you, just don't go out of your way to be in her company too much

I think it's kinda funny that she said such a morbid thing when he was tryng to eat lol.

It was a bit morbid wasn't it...
Makes me think of someone screaming 'RAT IN YOUR BURGER!' just after you've taken one mouthful...then grinning and revealing they were kidding once you've spat it out
