So... Last Fall, I gathered up my courage and asked a (very attractive) girl to Homecoming. Not only did she say yes, but we had a good time. She's a Mormon, so instead of going to the dance itself, where people were sure to be drinking, smoking, and grinding, we just went bowling. She said she had an excellent time and would love to do it again. Then she informed me that her brother had Aspergers, so I naturally, and probably stupidly, told her that I had the same diagnosis. Ever since, she's been friendly enough but seems to be avoiding me. Then, a couple weeks ago, I asked her to Prom. I probably got WAAAY overconfident. She said she would love to go with me. Then the next day she texted me saying she changed her mind and decided to just go with her friends. Anyway, I've been contemplating how to get back at her for lying to me. Yes, I'm that kind of Aspie: cunning, vindictive, and vengeful. SHE doesn't know that, though. Any suggestions?
From my POV this seems a whole lot like a Teenager response, rather than a strictly AS response. Once you get older, you should start to view such incidents as honest change of hearts, as opposed to outright betrayal and lies.
Have you ever heard the popular saying bros before hoes, well women have their own saying, chicks before dicks, and it tends to hold true enough. Besides you could still go to the prom with your own friends and ask her to dance when you're there.
