I was "classically autistic" until I was about 5 years old. Then, for some reason, after I acquired speech, I started becoming "Aspergian" as far as symptoms are concerned.
No...I never heard voices. I was considered 'crazy," though, especially when I went to Junior High (in the 1970s)
I was in Special Ed (in private schools, fortunately) most of my school career.
I didn't get a Regent's Diploma; I got a "regular" one. I barely graduated. There's no such thing as a "regular" diploma these days.
Ii went to college, and got a Bachelor's Degree much later. I graduated with honors.
But what I went through is not relevant to your situation. You have the opportunity better yourself quicker than I bettered myself.
Why were you considered crazy? Also why you in special ed for your autism or something else? How was it? I am classically autistic and in the saturday program and Camp for autistic and other disabilities I might end up in a private school or alternative school it is all up to the district. I hope I can at least get a local diploma which means what I linked to you
The doctor said I'm incapable of taking the regents and the sat is recommending that I go to another school in her letter to the bord and I don't know I want to be my school and graduate with a diploma and be onstage with my class. But others are saying that I can't. Even i said that I can't but I want to. This is the only state with regents it sucks that I can't get a diploma that is equivalent to a diploma in another state.
I hope wherever I go they have regions or I go to another state if I absolutely cannot stay in my school.
If I must be in a autism class or 15 -1 to stay in my school then I don't know what to do.

Sometime I feel frustrated and trapped in my limitations. Sometimes I whish I can do things like NT's or even other people in the spectrum. Like for example I cant draw or write (handwriting) for the life of me and I cant be in any physical activities due to my low muscle tone and developmental delays. I also wish I could figure out things as fast as other people and not forget stuff every two seconds or be nervous. I also wish I didn't get sensory overload every single time I go out or some times even at home. I whish I could be organized and do things by my self but I cant. I wish I didn't do and say thing that make people think Im an idot while the people that matter think Im completely fine and its all in my head and im overexaduating and expect me to be able to do everything and do it all perfectly. I constantly get compared to my NT friend and NT family members and they ask me why cant I be like them. I whish I just once knew how to act in situation and didn't feel like a blank sheet of paper ready to try to do what I think people want me to do. I just wish I had normal muscle tone and learning pace, sometime I wish I could go back to being not aware an d happy in my own little world like I mentioned in another post
Maybe you're using text to speech more and that's causing difficulty. But reading the 2013 post you are struggling but I understand what you're saying with no effort and it's easy to relate to. The recent one I feel unsure what you're saying and it seems unclear whether you understand or are confused, too.
This was just an example how it seems like you have more trouble now that maybe is what you want help with. Just a thought.
I would have picked the post about your grandmother saying you're not autistic but that's probably not a good one to spread around, it seems too private and better kept anonymous.
