| Most of my teachers at college don't know, but they know I'm registered through the disability program, so I'm sure they know something's up. XD |

| I few of my teachers knew because my parents told the school without asking me first. Helpful though because none of them knew the specifics so I used it as an excuse to skip half each year. |

| Not at my current school, and the fact that I am extraordinarily good at almost all areas of English and other subjects that similarly focus on the use of language means that they probably wouldn't believe me. |

| It's hard to say but I'd say any subject teachers I had when I was in school did not know. It really wasn't there job to know. However, my special education teachers did know. When I say special education I simply mean the teachers I had when I was in the Learning Center which is for those who have a learning disability(like ADD ect). I certainly felt the most comfortable with my Learning Center teachers and I was able to talk to them very easily and they were very understandable. For my subject teachers however, I hardly ever talked to any of them but most seemed to be fine with me because of my good behavior. However, I did have one teacher in the 8th grade that seemed to have a big problem with me. Obviously because of her ignorance she had no idea about my social impairment and just assumed that I was rude and anti-social as she once called me. She hated my antics(I'd sit at my desk with my legs crossed, I always wanted to work alone and I was bad with group work). Once she called me anti-social in front of the class, she crossed the line and I went down the the principal's office personally and complained about her and said how I was hurt and how that was very unprofessional. After the complaint she was never mean to me again but she was just an example of that one teacher who clearly had no idea that aspergers(hell, maybe even autism) didn't exist and was in total ignorance. |

Even if I'll tell them,i think they wouldn't care 'cuz they don't know much about Asperger Syndrome....and besides I'm still an NT(as of today)..The diagnosis is still in process and I doubt if it will be AS cuz i think it's PPD-NOS.(PS:I'm trying my best to escape my psychiatrist..I don't need a diagnosis..I love myself more than anything else  ) |

Well, apparently all my teachers are given a sheet about me and what 'special needs' I have. Whether the teachers take any notice of that is another matter--they probably get all sorts of things sent to them that they don't have time to read. Some of them obviously know, and give me all kinds of patronising special treatment, while others don't seem to know and treat me just like a normal child. Or maybe they know that I prefer to be treated like that.
The pupils don't officially know, though most of them have probably caught on that I have some kind of special needs. They probably don't know that it's Asperger's. One boy did once ask me 'Are you autistic?', and I lied and said no, because I didn't want everyone to bring their judgements about autism as well as all the judgements they make when seeing me. |

| None of them actually know because it's not diagnosed officially. I think some suspect it though, my society and environment teacher, my english teacher, maybe my math teacher... |

| Only one teacher knows, he has a son that has AS so he's the only one I feel comfortable talking about it with. |

Nah. I know I do, since I seem to fit into most of the criteria, and it seems the people posting here actually feel like I do for once, but I gave up on parents/teachers/school guidance councilors helping me somewhere between fifth and sixth grades. Can you believe that I dealt with a school guidance councilor one year, and an out of school one the year before and nobody ever noticed anything? Yet most every single kid in my whole grade could at least say that there's something strange about me!
By the second week of sixth grade, I concluded that adults were useless. Though somebody's probably going to guess soon. It's more noticeable since I switched schools.
The only thing a formal diagnosis would do is change my school's view of me from "I'm strange" to "I'm officially strange". How helpful would that be? |
