However, it seems like I'd be denied the option of not going. After all, the Special Ed teacher is making the most severely Autistic kid attend prom.

Whats the kid gonna do at prom?

Wouldn't know. Probably just stare off into space because that's what he usually does at school.

My high school's prom was two and a half weeks ago and, as I predicted a couple months ago, I ended up not going. I don't really regret it; I saw some of my friends post pictures of the event on their Facebook, and from the looks of it, it didn't look like I missed out on much.

During the 6 years of high school I went to a school party once, practically ran when I could and never went again. People tried to push me to go to the prom, but I didn't and the day after in class I was one of the few without a hangover listening to the stories of who kissed who (while being drunk), who was sorry now, and who had puked. I was glad I didn't go.

I went to my junior prom and skipped my senior prom. Junior prom was overblown anyway.

Just curious, but I wonder what a prom run entirely by aspies would be like? For a start, it certainly wouldn't involve dreadful looking and hideously uncomfortable dresses (I'm female, btw). There would be no loud music, no loud lighting. For preference, almost no people. Hmm, I should organize parties, I clearly have a talent.

No people? That wouldn't really be a gathering then.

Some of my best social interactions have involved just one person, me.

I skipped mine.

I went to a small High School and all the girls there already knew how weird I was and I just felt that if I went I would end up getting made fun of yet again so I volunteered to work that night at my fast food restaurant job so someone else could go have fun.

Why do people spend so much just to go to a one-night event?

I never went to mine. Proms are another one of those NT social bonding events that we Aspies will simply never be able to understand.

Because it's what everyone else does and they're expected to do it too, I assume.

Yes I did. I saw no reason. I had no date, so what's the point of going. People always say that I should go even if I didnt have a date. Yea right, I did that with homecoming when my date stood me up, and everyone ignored me because they were too busy with their dates. And I dont like stuff like that anyways. so yea I skipped it.

I didn't go, but I was the only one of the senior class who didn't. It was a requirement for everyone else to go but I got out of it. I got berated by a couple of classmates and some fibro friends for it but if I'd went I'd be out of there after the first song was blasted or sitting in a corner trying to cope with a migraine alone. It's no big deal, going to prom won't matter once you graduate anyway.

That is so stupid, why is it a requirement to go to the gay prom? If they berated me for not going I would tell them to go f**k themselves.
