Why do my coworkers ignore me outside of work?

So over the weekend I saw some of my co workers, I said “Hey what’s up?” to them and they just looked at me and continued talking to each other.
Earlier today after the staff got together and discussed about the next school year, one of coworkers ignored me when I said bye to her. The teacher must of not heard me. I feel like when we’re all together they don’t talk to me or they just avoid me. I know I have autism and an employee but I’m still a person. At least some of them talk to me so I stuck with them.

Well. Here's the brutal harsh truth of the world. If you don't fit in with the cool kids, you're out in the cool. People often like to think of themselves as inclusive until they have to be, then they get overwhelmed and go back to their comfort zones.

I don't have solutions but know that it is NOT your fault.

@PetiteJulie01 are you lacking common sense or something? You’ve been insulting autistic people on here and you think you’re the shit! Your brain cells must be dead.

@ElizabethBabe1994 Yes I know. It wouldn't hurt just to respond positively. I honestly don't know how to help. Rejection particularly over an issue that is no fault of your own sucks. I'm so sorry.

They either don't like you or like to keep work separate from the rest of their lives.

@Turtlepower I mean I understand they wanna keep their lives separate and I respect that. The thing is that they could at least responded.
One of my coworkers I work with, she always has this annoyed look on her face and I didn’t even do anything to her. She isn’t mean to me but she doesn’t seem interested when I talk about some things and talk to the other coworkers.

Simple, they don’t like you! Or they probably aren’t interested in forming a friendship with you. I do agree with the of an answer that they might want to keep their work life and personal lives separate. To put it bluntly, I think you being autistic scares them. Nobody is really interested in being friends with an autistic person.

They sound horrible. What a shame

They are being childish and clickish. They think that you don't fit what's cool or acceptable so they are ignoring you when they feel that they can get away with it. Just like highschool girls.

@Adrift I did nothing and I know I didn’t.
