| School was a living hell for me, i went to one of the best high schools in Aus and i loved the academic side but i dropped out in grade 11 due to overwhelming bullying. I wish i had been in some sort of special ed situation away from the bullying then i might have achieved high results early and not have to have spent 13 years working in a dead end menial job before i got where i am now. I was diagnosed as HFA while at primary school well before Aspergers existed as a diagnosis. I guess the down side is that special ed does bear the stigma as equaling stupid in many unenlightened peoples eyes. |

I was IEPed from K-12, in Resource/Spec. Ed. on and off between that time, dealt with very harsh bullying in 9th-10th grade (which sidetracked me very badly from concentrating on my academics), which lead me to being lazy and clueless on how to prioritize my goals, my time, my life and schedule and it even messed up my first 2 years of my college life, including one class this semester. I mean, for a while, since maybe senior year of HS, I have felt like a different person, I can get along with almost anyone and now just recently, I know how to study really hard for tests, I can finish up assignments the same day it is assigned to me (meaning I don't leave things to the last minute), and I feel like this is the start. I hope these changes will help me accomplish my goals and I will transfer to a 4 year institution to get a Bachelors.  |
