I am autistic and I HATE noisy environments! I remember, when I was at school, a girl said to me, "You come o school, you participate in class, but you don't go out. Why?" I said to her that I didn't really want to.

I still remember one guy who was in my math class at high school, who was very rude, and my brother sees him occasionally and says that he's almost an alcoholic now, sneered when I said I would be studying over the weekend, that I stayed home and studied and failed while he went out and partied but passed. Okay, it took me longer to do an exam than some, but I did not fail. He was just being a smart Alec.
