"Special treatment" at school

Post Reply New Topic

I used to be bullied, but now that I've switched schools and reinvented myself, I'm hardly ever teased. I'm sure everyone can tell that I have AS, and I sometimes cry or stim, so it's hard to believe that I only get teased about once a week, and not very badly. Do you think they're being nice because I don't talk about people, so they don't talk about me? Or because I ignore people when they tease me? Or maybe because I'm nice? Maybe it's because they feel sorry for me for having AS. Do they secretly think I'm creepy?

Its probably because you ignore people when they tease you. I dont think NT teenagers tend to care very much about people other than themselves, so if you dont give them a reaction, they probably wont tease you much. (I am by no means saying ALL NT teens are like this - only the majority of the ones I have encountered.)

Oh, and if they think you are creepy, they will probably tell you

I've managed to only get teased about once or twice this school year since I make all my stimming look like fidgeting and I never cry at school. I think the teasing was about my extreme shyness.

I get teased alot, But if you don't make eye contact with the people you know will make fun and leave yourslef invisable [even if your sitting just infront of them] they are more likeley to be getting on talking to other people.
Trust me, Works all the time.

Sometimes I do things which I think are right, then latter at home maybe, I think. Oh god.. I should have said this.. or done this.. Maybe for a while write them down in a book, I've been lucky enough to not write them in a book [I'd lose it anyway] I've remembered it in my head, but this may help you. xx

I abhor being perceived by others a freak; so I try to behave in a normal nature. Of course, I come across as intelligent and shy to those who are newly acquainted with me, but it is preferable to be abnormal.

special treatment for me means i get to play the freak.

That's what I do, and it usually works. But one time, someone got around that by saying my name, which made me automatically turn around.




I do that all the time!




Same thing with me. But when they get to know me better, they start to think I'm ignoring them or something. Someone told me that she tried to talk to me, but that I was ignoring her. I think it's because I don't make eye contact often.

Ok, so I sometimes I stim but it usually looks like I am fidgeting too and I have only cried twice this year (for good reasons, they stole art from me and they accused me of cheating on a test before my very last cross-country meet ever).....so I don't get made fun of.

Except in my math class, but everyone gets made fun of in there, haha, everyone gets teased, nobody is safe.

I think I get special treatment UNLESS the teacher is really tough and treats me like everyone else. For example, I was in ASL this year and my teacher had me last year (for year 1, this is year 2). We got new seats in there (which is really weird), and I couldn't see from there. I was mad, and I acted begrudgingly. So, my teacher pulled me aside and told me that I wasn't going to get special treatment. That sucked.

But for the most part, teachers aren't like that. I have had teachers let me go outside to read and take tests because I couldn't pay attention....or they would let me start working on a project ahead of time and things like that.

Now in social situations, it happens, and I abhor it because the peers might treat me like I am a little kid. I HATE that type of special treatment.

As long as it it just helping me get ahead (not inferring that I am dumb, but maybe that I need extra concentration room) and not belittling me, I am fine with special treatment.

Now,in your case, I think that it is because you don't react(because that is the goal of most bullies) and that they don't know. Trust me, they probably don't. You don't talk, they think you are shy. It is as simple as that. They don't think you are creepy, they probably can't tell that you have AS(most people don't know what it even is). So congrats, you are just the shy girl and you shouldn't worry about it and just chillax because they don't pick on shy people as much as disabled people.

My best friend used to do that all the time because I don't defend myself and I don't get sarcasm and social stuff... For example, I didn't know that purple triangles were symbols (Google it) for anything, until he made fun of me for mentioning purple triangles.




I've been told that people think I'm creepy.




I'm not a girl...
I just chose "PurpleKiwi" randomly once, and I've been using "purple" and a shape/fruit/object as a username ever since. (PurpleKiwi, PurpleTrapezoid, PurpleTriangle, PurpleMeteor, PurplePlasmid (Bioshock forums), PurplePotassium (YouTube) etc.)
I think I should change my name, but I'm too used to "Purple".

I don't take that teasing crap from people.

I get treated like a child all the time though. Really annoys me some days.

i sometimes get special treatment like how the teachers are nicer to me than they are to some of the other students. But it's not because im an aspie because they don't know.

Also they other students treat me different, but i don't like the way they do, they're not mean or anything but i think everyone thinks i'm stupid or something and i'm way too shy to say anything
