I don't like being told off.

When I was a small child I always used to cry after being told off by a teacher. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 8, so when I was younger than 8 I suppose the teachers didn't really know what was wrong and just thought I was being naughty or not paying attention on purpose, then I got humiliated in front of the class for it. I do remember getting really tearful after being told off by a teacher. I didn't scream or cry inappropriately, I just sobbed, and other children nearby used to look at me in a concerned way.

Even now I feel like crying when being told off, only I don't. Sometimes I can deal with it, other times I can't. I am a very tearful person anyway, and so I cry at anything. This is what makes funerals hard for me.
