Ugh, being the outcast at school.... I'm sorry you're going through this, but rest assured you're not alone.
There are heaps of unspoken social rules, especially at schools and even more so in your teens. Personally I think that's the most difficult phase of life socially, and being neurodivergent just amplifies that.
It takes time to find people you can get along with. I would recommend looking for any group activities that involve something you're interested in - often it is easier to meet and start to get to know someone when you're doing something together.

Alright, thanks for the tips!
