am not very bothered as am rarely in mainstream public/services and always have either one or two support staff with am who explain things if needed.
it's never something am thinking about,and is just something am would do if it came.

am have been accused of stealing before-because am do not react in a way they want,if they knew am had a childhood history with stealing [due to not understanding it,would never take anything am haven't bought or been given now],they would probably have am in some pysch prison.

On one psych test I was given, it asked if I had ever taken anything that did not belong to me, before.

I marked "yes," and they thought I had a massive stealing problem that I was hiding or something.

I didn't - I'd never shoplifted or anything, not even anything little. I had just, when younger, picked up rulers from all over my school and collected them in a bag, whether they belonged to me or not, and did not fully understand what I was doing at the time was wrong or stealing.

Which is hardly some kind of major criminal background, but they never asked me what I took that didn't belong to me, or when, they just asked "have you ever...?" etc. and assumed it was more severe than it was.
