Most people claim Aspergers make excellent students. Well I'm not because I suck at rote memorising, tests, essays and group projects (because everyone calls my innovative ideas insane). I am the worst in maths even my classmate a girl with adhd is better than me. Schools fail to give creative problem solving and critical thinking and theres no accommodations they lie about it. Five more minutes and ear muffs are useless and I get bullied and dismissed by many. As a scout leader for disabled kids no one listens to me when I understand the kids truly. I do wing chun and qi gong and play oboe. I have a hard time finding a kind therapist who is skilled since most of them give away secrets or make fun of me. I am born and live in Switzerland but my origins are from India and there this topic is more taboo than here. Most family make fun of me too. No job suits my skills. My hate for small talk and weakness in nonverbal communication makes me unique yet hated. I dont know anyone else with aspergers but if I had a kid with this (I am 18 and single) I would understand him or her. I hope you guys find this relatable.
