I feel the very same way. Even though I do have friends, most of them tend to talk down to me like I'm either immature or mentally handicapped (I'm autistic, yes, but NOT stupid, for crying out loud!), and it gets REALLY frustrating. I get pretty lonely about it, too.

Welcome to Wrong Planet.
You wrote that it gets lonely. I am an Aspie. But the few that I developed were really close friends. I suspect they were also Aspies. One thing that I will pass on to you.
About half of the people in the world are introverts and the other half of the people in the world are extroverts.
An introvert recharges their internal batteries by being alone.
An extrovert recharges their internal batteries by being in a group. They talk and talk and talk and then soon their batteries are recharged and they are happy.

I am an extreme introvert. I can have a good conversation with a person, but if you put me in a group of people all talking at the same time, my brain cannot process the information.
