Well, she doesn't talk to anyone at school except her friend, sometimes when she sees me at school she would hide, but most of the time she just ignores me even if I talk to her. Thats why I am not sure anymore even though I did a lot of research, most of people who dated people with aspergers did not have this experience. Should I just tell myself ok this person has low-functional autism; thus, this is the reason why she behaves this way, or maybe she has high-functional autism, but she did not have contact with more than just this friend, and there is a possibility for her to learn that this behavior is bad (not showering, playing hide and seek, etc.), and hoping that someday she will learn how to keep up a conversation via text or IRL.
I would do what other people have suggested tell her how you feel let her know that this is something that you have problems with but I know for myself When I was growing up I had trouble with taking a shower or a bath because I would get really engrossed in what I was doing and I didn't want to leave what I was doing it's a very very much artistic/aspergers thing to do to be so engrossed with what you're doing that you don't want to put your videogame or your phone or your movie or TV show down or your crafting project down and go take a shower or brush your teeth because in the mind of the autistic it is boring to brush your teeth or take a shower and what you are currently doing is more fun taking a shower is boring and it wastes the time that you could be playing your video game or watching your movie and or doing your art project that you're interested in. For me I get engrossed in video games on the computer like the Sims or I love to paint and when I get into painting I could be at that for hours and I have to remind myself to put it down and finish it tomorrow if it's getting late because I have to go to work at eight in the morning so I can't just do it all day or all night where I'm gonna be pissed in the morning when I get six hours of sleep or two hours asleep and have to go to work for eight hours etc.
