^...Well then.
I was called a "smart aleck" so often in elementary school and would always get punished for it. I never knew what I was doing wrong, so I didn't know how to stop getting in trouble. I can't stop holding grudges against former teachers for treating me like this. Unhealthy, I know, but man...I just want to go up to them with my diagnosis and say "SEE? SEE? I never intended to act like that! You had no reason to treat me like that!"
Aw man I can't talk about teachers or school for very long without getting extremely angry about how I as an AS kid was treating- honestly treating someone who OBVIOUSLY had NO f*****g CLUE what was going on that way.... just really gets to me.
Like really teachers? Did you have to stoop so low as to bully essentially a disabled confused and perpetually scared child? Year after year? Often in front of all the other students??
So unnecessary ....
I hope AS kids now have more understanding from school officials/teachers (one can only hope...).
