Funny Story about AS and stupid state exams

Post Reply New Topic

I remember when I was in 8th grade, we had to take this stupid state-mandated English exam. And part of this exam was to write an essay about two passages. A couple weeks after I took this test, my parents got called into school. Apparently, the state had flagged my essay because it was emotionally disturbing. Well, it turns out that the passages were about some guy who made art animals, but I took the passages literally and thought he was abusing the animals to make art, and wrote the essay as if that were the case. Therefore, the state read this and thought I was emotionally disturbed when in reality I just had Asperger's. Any other funny personal stories like this?

wowww..

xD

i don't have Asperger's, i have NLD but i remember when i was in MUN i it was a INS and we were simulating WWII...my group was Germany and they started talking about Russia making a wall of flesh...throughout most of the conference i thought it was a real wall of flesh until i was told it wasn't a real wall of flesh -.- i felt dumb but yeah my responses as foreign minister were all directed into that literal idea...it wasn't a big deal where teachers and such got involved but it might have been awkward for the group...and the person moderating us especially him since he's the one who told me it wasn't a real wall of flesh.... xD

I did something similar. There was a picture of a mail man and he was carting a large package to a house. Well... you had to write about the picture.

I rambled on two pages of the booklet about a vampire being in said box (it was coffin shaped) and the mail man getting killed by said vampire.
