Have you been diagnosed with Asperger's, or High Functioning Autism?
If you had some sort of diagnosis you could tell them, then they would understand that it's normal for you to prefer being alone during breaks.
(It also appears from your description of their good meaning suggestions that they are not well versed in mentoring people on the spectrum.)
Do you see "information" in other people's eyes?
Is the phrase, "Nonverbal communication" an oxymoron?
Have people called you weird or stupid even though you get high grades?
The big question, Are you content being alone, or do you secretly yearn for more friends, more social connection? Some people are quite content being isolated and alone; other people go nuts and strongly wish they knew the secret to making friends, finding a mate, socializing with ease the way other people do (Hint, they easily and intuitively read body language, eyes, and all that nonverbal communication that people who have difficulty socializing miss out on).
Your teachers need to know which one you are.
