Why do I have to live a double life?

Like there’s who I am to the outside world and who I am with Asperger’s. Like usually people treat me fine when they don’t know my diagnosis or that I’m on the spectrum everything is just fine but stuff changes when they find out. An example would be a girl who was crushing on me the first couple days of class, like she was really flirting pretty heavily then once the professor announced that a student in this class need disability accommodations and she found out it was me by volunteering she was instantly turned off she no longer flirted and actually moved away from me and started ignoring me.

What accommodations would you even need? Can you not figure out which things need to be taken as notes? Or is it something else?

Yes so some professors teaching style directly clashes with my learning style like they will lecture but there will be no PowerPoints or anything you have to basically pick apart everything they say and if they ramble or go off on a rant it becomes hard to distinguish what’s important and what’s not

I've had that issue before. On the actual question you asked, some people are stupid. A person acting oddly is fine so long as it doesn't have a name. Others are the opposite way. We'll never fully understand people's irrational thought patterns, so it's better not to try to rationalize them.

When people don’t know they treat me just fine but as soon as it comes out you should see how they treat me it’s completely different

Just be you. If someone’s a loser be glad they left
