I’m severely emetophobic so I would have avoided them at all cost and tried to stave off a panic attack.

Same here. Currently white knuckling a hefty panic. Props for reading this thread. :)

Talk to them about it. Express what you’re feeling. I’m willing to bet they are not upset at all, and if they are it will clear it up and deepen the friendship

And let’s not pretend that’s not entirely out of the ordinary either. XD
I can’t count how many times I didn’t properly hear something someone said, inadvertently gave a nonsense answer and just left.

Not much you can do, except what you did. You're fine.

SAME.
I started having minor panic attacks on the subway because i was convinced someone near me was about to puke—often with no reason other than they shifted their weight or leaned forward like a totally normal person.
Thank the gods for my anti-anxiety meds. I finally got a handle on that.

I believe they're referring to this line at the end.
>Later at the end of the school day they stopped me and asked me something casually as if nothing happened, I felt awkward and didn’t hear them so I just said no before going home.

No you didn't. The fact that you stopped, offered to get aid for them, and made sure they were with the class is plenty.
They aren't upset.

This unlocked an old memory in my mind, I once vomited in front of a kid with ASD at an after school tutoring thing and he just walked away and I thought the whole thing was pretty funny

The person vomiting is the one that didn’t respond.

People are honestly really understanding of those who prefer not to watch someone vomit. They don’t expect you to stay and watch cause they think it’s gross too. They probably weren’t thinking about something like you not getting help. They were probably a little preoccupied. And like you said, someone was walking back there anyway. You asked if they were okay, and that was probably as much as anyone could do for someone if they were vomiting in front of them. I’d say you’re good, and it’s not like it was an emergency situation

Unless you had water and a clean towel with you, you did all you could. Life will be full of moments like this. Sometimes you can help but not always. You passed the test: you were willing to get involved

actually, another cool part is, you can wear ear plugs and be able to still have a phone conversation... not that they'll be thrilled about all the noise tho.

Let me tell you something as a guy with ASD. You didn't do anything wrong. Most people would rather be alone when they puke, so nothing was wrong there. It was the fact that you just kept thinking about it that was wrong. Don't think too hard about these types of things, they bring you down to the ground. Also, your friend probably forgot about it anyway. It's no big deal.
Edit: and one more thing, look up some videos on common body language, that helped me a lot.
