How can I deal with the fact that some of the students don’t like me?

I understand I’m new and they don’t trust me yet which I get it, but when a student needs help, I would gladly help them, but they prefer the other two teachers. They never come to me for help. Some do speak to me but not a lot of students like me.
In the class this girl only talks to the two other staff and never talks to me. I would great her she would answer back or not answer. The other kids are like that too. I don’t know if it’s because I’m too quiet or too serious. I don’t know. I do say hi to the kids and smile but still. She and the others hug the other teachers but never me. Is it my 6ft, large built the reason. I’m overweight as well. Also I read to them at literature but none of them were engaged and looked bored. When the other two teachers read, they seemed more interested. They don’t disrespect me much. Some do give me a hard time but I stood firm. Not a lot of them talk to me much. I don’t understand. I do my work, and whatever but nobody really speaks to me. I like my job but still. What’s do I do?
Even some of my coworkers don’t really talk to me. I’m getting to know them but none of them really engage with me either. I work at an autism school as a support staff.
