I had alot of trouble in school back in the day, too. When i was 4 I was kicked out of preschool because I couldn't interact with the other kids at all: i wouldn't share, i couldn't play with them--- i was a little terror. That's how the whole thing started about getting me to Catholic school with the nuns. I was always picked on through school. Some of the teachers thought i acted the way i did on purpose to anger them.
In 9th grade some kid kept pestering me in science class so i jabbed him in the hand with my pencil. It didn't pierce him or anything and the teacher had seen him being a butthead so the teacher didn't send me out or anything. He never pestered me again, though.
I received alot of "butt-whoopin's" when i was a kid--- this at least taught me to try harder not to act up, and i definitely learned that some things were definitely not O.K. to do by any means. When i was about 4, my i wanted to eat a can of peas, but she said no. So i waited for her to lay down. Then i clocked her on the head with the can of peas. Never did THAT again. I learned to do certain things and act certain ways the way other people said I should, but it always seemed harder to do. I did ok in school, though, gradewise.

Welcome aboard, Belinda:

Back when I was in school, I myself had problems fitting in in my classes
(I was mainstreamed in school from kindergarden on) throughout my
grade school years. I was threatened with suspension from school once
and could have faced much more punishment than that unless someone or
something in my records was advocating for me.
I'd say that you could have AS or a related disorder, but I would surely
recommend seeing a psychiatrist at a university hospital to confirm any
diagnosis. You mentioned that you lived in West Melbourne (Victoria,
Australia), right? There should be a university teaching hospital in
the state capital, at least--if not on a campus closer to home. Try them, please.

You seem like one!! !
