Holy shit, you're back.i hung with the artists. they always had the best drugs. and we were all the same. nerds.
this made me lolwell let's see...i stole mountains of texas instrument graphing calculators and sold them on ebay.
Honey I know how you feel. I also have Asperger's Syndrome and suspect Tip Top does as well. Misinterpreting instructions, getting in trouble for lashing out or for being 'inappropriate' and you don't know what the fick you did wrong, kids picking on you because they don't understand you, feeling overwhelmed by sensory overload, poor coordination, unable to identify with others, needing rigid routines and patterns and DIRECT instructions... Yeah, I hear you.High School for me was "It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose" crazy. I had been struggling all my life up to that point with Aspbergers, and only had made a few friends. Jr. High I was known for fighting only because I used to lash out at people because of my disability. High School? Shit, I was already 3 years into smoking pot, getting arrested all the time, and hanging out with my few friends, who were into a lot of deep shit (can't get into it because it's their privacy), and were well connected (viva la raza). I never tried to fit in to any groups, because I already had enough friends to keep me occupied. Though I will say, after HS, my criminal record almost tripled in offenses. Everything from armed robbery to assault on a Peace Officer (I didn't know beating up your probation officer is a big deal). Dallas, Texas in the 90s was crazy, and I was in the middle of it all.
While I have never officially been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome I have had some very close friends "diagnose" me with it, including my girlfriend who once she graduates will be working with children with autism/aspergers. That being said my HS experience was very unique and I imagine quite different than most on here. My freshmen year I went to the local public HS and got the shit kicked out of me regularly because I was extremely small and would tell people off when they were being assholes. I eventually got to a point where I was so scared to go to school I fell into a sort of quasi depression and would sleep all day and do nothing productive. My grades went to shit and so did my athletics. When my parents noticed my "depression" (they didn't know anything about what was going on at school because I was too proud to tell them I was getting my shit knocked in) they tried to take me to some therapists but I absolutely hate people trying to psychoanalyze me so I just fucked with the therapist. It was at this point my parents decided to send me to boarding school in hopes that I would figure something out.Honey I know how you feel.
