what are you like in class?

Post Reply New Topic

In high school, I was alawys in trouble. I got expelled from the entire county school system.

In university, I sit up front (because I can't focus if people are moving around between me and the professor/board/screen) and to the right (so I can hear out of my good ear, the other having gone partially deaf from being beaten by bullies in high school.) Every semester, I speak less. My grades are slowly slipping and I attribute that largely to mid-life autistic burn-out. I'm hoping to pul out of that somewhat this year, though, because at the rate it's been going, I won't be able to finish my degree.

in high school i was the weird quiet girl. i didn't fit in wonderfully and had my handful of awkward friends. i developed even more friendships in my senior year but by then it was too late.
i was constantly being asked "why don't you talk?" "why are you so quiet?" i would often shrug but i was really thinking "go away you annoying unobservant loud person."

college is better because everyone is not clumped together in their close minded groups. it's freer.

In primary school, I was kind of the quiet kid, who initially kept to myself. However, in all three primary schools I visited from age 5-12, I made friends fairly quickly after enrolling. So, I didn't really stick out as autistic (it helped that the second primary school I went to was a special school, a paedological institute, pretty much every other kid there had some kind of disorder).

In secondary school, I was one of the 'class nerds', surrounded by like minds. As in primary school, I was top of the class, without bragging. In general, I liked to sit in the far back corner of the classroom, preferably by a window to stare out of (like Ayanami Rei in 'Neon Genesis Evangelion').

I always sat in the back and just did my work or pretended to do my work quietly. I also would bring play-doh sometimes- even my NT friends liked the play-doh. When things got overwhelming I would sit under the table, only one teacher got mad at me for doing that (he was the horrible teacher that no one liked). I would say any House MD references that came to mind during class. Also the kids knew I could leave class for a 5-10 minutes if it was really loud and chaotic.

In elementary school, I was dead silent and read the entire time.
In intermediate school, I was rather the same. I met a couple friends in my classes. That was nice while it lasted.
Now, in high school? It depends on the class. In the classes that others tend to struggle with and hate, such as AP European History, I raised my hand for every question to supply the correct answer and elicit inexplicable groans from my classmates. In my math classes and everything I am not excellent in, I just read. . . the whole time

I was the hippie in the front row sleeping in the classes I liked. I was in the middle of the class room and awake in the ones I didn't. I had trouble with English and history. Math, science, German and Spanish teachers all liked to ask a question then call my name. I would infuriate them by answering the question without raising my head from my desk. I was a quiet honor student who looked like a punk.

I was always reading and chewing on my pencil.

I also had this thing with "uniform"
I always wore my uniform very neat, neater than anyone else in the school. prob one of the aspie things as well
I love uniforms for some reasons, and my fantasy was to have s** with the guys from boys grammar their uniform were sexy!! ! or maybe they were sexy becoz they were the smart rich kids
Well guess my dream came true, my current bf was graduated from Melbourne boys grammar, but we've both lost our high school uniform... ok... this is going a bit too far

When i was little i was very quiet(so much so that my first grade teacher thought i was "slow" or "mentally challenged"... LOL).. So, most of the time, i was considered an extremely well-behaved student. Even if something interested me, i'd be too nervous to speak up in class. These days, however, i'll get very talkative if there's a subject that interests me. I'll answer all the questions, and have been known to sort of take over the discussion in a few of the community college courses i've taken. The rest of the time i'm pretty much quiet and don't like to be called on, though. Ever since some time in elementary school, i've been known to be "insubordinate" to teachers at times, because i would argue with them.. And if certain rules didn't make sense to me, i'd ignore them... Even though the rest of the time i was pretty much a perfectly behaved student who never disrupted class.

at school,

if i could not do something or somebody started beeing nasy i get up and leave that made me get in more trouble but i just had no control over it...

at college
still now if i get upset i just end up walking out.....

The teachers pet. In high school I never missed an assignment, never failed a test, never got a detention. I was quiet and didn't really talk to people unless they talked to me. I went almost a year of high school without knowing where the restroom was

In college, I'm just sort of an average person. I do poorly on a test occasionally; I'm not afraid to be a smartass if someone is rude to me; I'm not afraid to ask questions or say "er, I think you might be wrong." But I still maintain that perfectionist attitude I had though high school.

I have always been extremely quiet and mainly read my way through primary school. This is pretty difficult now in university since we have to have discussions in class.
