On the real, that's life. People are going to judge you and criticize you no matter how good you are. It's in the human nature to judge.
It's up to people to take things seriously or as a joke.
Just be comfortable in the skin that you're in. No matter what hurtful things people may say, know that they're not any better to judge you.
What other people think is not important, what matters is how you view yourself. So, always be positive.

I have seen a friend with a child with severe autism, unable to socialize with others, and then there's my husband born with a lighter degree of it. As a baby he couldn't handle the input of what it felt like being held by mom. No one really knows he has it. And he copes very well but I see at home when he "fries" if there's too much input at once.
So without knowing the extent of your autism and what kind of examples you believe are the people judging you, it is hard to come up with some suggestions. Are these people aware you are autistic, or not aware that you are and just think you're 'acting up' or 'misbehaving'.
There's not much known about autism, its only recently doctors and scientists are starting to come up with more studies and understanding of it. But the general public truly has no idea how to understand a person with autism. Heck even aspergers syndrome is fairly recently coming into the public view. Anyone who doesnt relate to others in generally the same way the majority does
makes the majority of people feel uncomfortable because we are ill equipped to understand. Most people aren't brave enough to ask you. I am sure you wouldn't mind explaining if someone truly wanted to know why you view the world and move through it in a different way. There are good people out there who will learn to take you seriously and love you for who you are but humans are scared of anything different, theres fears of how to act around someone different, their mind imagines reasons for why a person acts a certain way. They don't ask for fear of offending someone like you so they continue on in ignorance, missing out on getting to know and have a wonderful person in their life.
I don't know what you have tried yet to help remedy your situation so I'll wait to hear back with more info so maybe I can come up with a few suggestions. Take care.
