Constantly yelled at by teacher

This makes a lot of sense also.

I honestly find the percent that don't like school surprising. I love learning, but I sometimes find school repetitive and biased, and for that I dislike it; However, in the end, I like it nonetheless.

Also, I get berated(Not yelled at) for tapping and humming and interjecting and disturbing class in general.

There are a couple things you can do to get your teacher to stop the yelling at you. The first thing you should do is explain that you have Asperger’s Syndrome, and maybe give a few details about what that means. Tell the teacher how you feel because of the yelling. This is not something to do in the middle of class. Try approaching the teacher in the early morning before class starts, during recess or afterschool, if you can afford to stay that late.

If you want to take it a step further, ask your teacher if perhaps he or she can help teach you some organization skills. I suggest this for multiple reasons. The first is that it shows that you are not ignoring the teacher, as he or she may think but just can’t deal with your problem on your own. Second, it forces the teacher to notice you as an individual, rather than just one more rambunctious kid in the room. Picture what it would be like if you had to keep a bunch of preschoolers under control, just by talking to them. Would you be able to tell who is ignoring what you and who just didn’t know how to do what you said? The final reason to try this is that, if they have the chance, most teachers want to help students who are willing to ask for it. All of these facts may come together to affect how the teacher treats you as a person.

If talking to the teacher does not work, then talk to your parents, the principle or both. As a child with Asperger’s, the school is supposed to give you what you need and be understanding of your differences.

On the other hand, if the teacher proves to be understanding without having to be told by others what to do, then the situation is resolved. If he or she is willing to help you with your organization, then you learn something really important about that teacher. This is that he or she is willing to help you. Having a teacher like that would provide you a chance to talk to someone about some of the issues that come with Aspergers, like how to act around other people in class. The sooner you can learn how to handle the problems you have, the better off you will be.

If you would like to talk more about this, or something else, feel free to say something on my message board. It might take me a little while to reply sometimes because I have a lot of work but I would answer you as soon as I could.
