I'm sorry - I don't have much to say but want to leave a comment.

I remember with crystal clarity how frightened and alone I felt when I was your age - hang in there, or post here, we understand what you feel like.

You're welcome. Don't forget that many of us who are older may have been through what you are going through now so will understand. I realize for a girl, having friends is more important then to a boy. As a boy in school, apart from a very small group of us who were all a bit odd from different age groups, I was very much a loner through much of my schooling years.

Aspies experience significantly more bullying than NTs. For males it generally peaks during Junior High. For females it tends to peak during High School. And then the level of bullying usually declines. But the damage has already been done. For many Aspies even their best friends turn on them. They are isolated and alone. And when they are abandoned by the herd, this is generally when the mental and physical attacks tend to begin. So prepare yourself and be brave. Do not let them damage your self-worth.

I would recommend that you join some school activities. Since bullies do not normally cross over into different grades, it is better to join an activity that crosses different age groups. For example join the drama club. In the production of plays, there are many skill-sets required. Such as actors, musicians, prop construction, sound and lighting, costume design, ticket sales etc. Generally there exist some aspect that you can melt into. The advantage is that you are not alone and not fodder for the wolves.

Next time you're at lunch, maybe look around to see if there is any other girl who appears to be alone, and sit with her?

Also, try to determine whether there are any other places in the school building where you can sit and eat besides the cafeteria. Are there any extra-curricular activities that happen during lunch hour?

Most of the time, it gets better once you get out of high school. High school kids have a tendency to be on the idiotic side. I would say most, though, only want to not incur the ire of the idiots, rather than being idiots themselves.

I experienced being ostracized in high school. Even by other ostracized kids. It's not a good feeling.

I would try to take advantage of your situation by doing extremely well in your studies. When you get to college/university, you will be respected more for being an excellent student.

Many of us were ignored in school, me too. I do second the suggestion that you try a drama club. For me, it was a place where I was valued because I learned a skill. For me, it was running the lighting. I even got good enough to get some paying jobs running lights for other organizations using the school's theater. This was not a cure-all, but it did bring some light and socializing.

I had forgotten about that. Thank you for helping me remember some good high school experiences.

When you get out of high school things will be different. Right now people will think you are weird. Later in life people will think you are unique or interesting.

When I am around nts/allistics especially ones who don't understand or include me in things. I also feel alone because I have family who don't understand me and don't want anything to do with me. All the while, I see others getting along with their families and I can't help but envy them

People say when you get out of high school it gets better, now to be a downer but I'm out of High School and still have no friends. I am alone, but it's really no surprise if I could get away from me I would. Not eve my family likes me though they would never admit it. :lol:

Everyone is alone.

Do not view it as a bad or negative thing.

No-one can ever truly know your thoughts or what it means to be you.

Embrace this and use it as a strength.

Socializing got a little better in college. In that more students to choose from. Socializing got worse in college in that nobody wanted to live with me so , had to live with strangers. Surprises imminent. :roll:



Socializing got worse after college. No regular location to socialize.


High school performance good not remarkable. Didn't seem to matter


College. UCSD. Flunked out of structural engineering 2.19 out of 4 gpa. f**k UCSD.


Doing better at UCSD could have made it easier to socialize. All things being equal. But not all things are equal and just a little better.


f**k mister redelings s**t



Doing better at structural engineering would have made me less clinically depressed. So easier socializing



But still autistic so what the f**k ever s**t
