Class clown/acted inappropriately in school?

Post Reply New Topic

I did. Then I did it less I think in 8th grade or HS. It seemed to not be helping my popularity.

do you have ADHD acting out loud is not common for aspies well the typica type I myself would never dream of it , really reserved guy hehe

I was a big class clown in grade school. By middle school and high school, I'd fallen off the map completely.

yeah, same. hey and we both like animal collective too!

I began acting out in class in 5th grade. I wasn't the class clown so much as I just got into trouble a lot for making bad grades and talking a lot. In fact this has been my entire life, because even in kindergarten I got paddled almost daily for talking rather than napping. And yes, I have ADHD on top of AS. In middle school, I really got bad and started clowning in class. I got into trouble once for flooding the boys' restroom twice within the span of an hour. I was really acting out... this was either 6th grade or 7th, not sure. I repeated 6th grade and middle school was one big blur to me. In high school I hung with a really bad crowd beginning in 10th grade and I began to refer to myself as the anti-christ. I would get up in the middle of my classroom and scream at people, tell everyone I was the anti-christ, etc. And this was in a class where the year before (yeah I had to repeat it, go figure) I had been the teacher's favorite student. I went from overly mature to overly immature within the span of one year. Nowadays I get into those moods and will piss off my coworkers when I get all stupid and hyper, but most of the time I am very reserved and keep to myself. You have to know me pretty well before I will act a fool around you. Most people who don't know me well think I'm stuck up and rude but I'm not, I'm just socially inept. But people who know me think I'm a fool because they've seen my "hyper" side.

I used to make people laugh. When I was about 15 I realised I was still an outsider. So I just turned the commedian off. Why bother giving something of yourself if you always end up alone anyway.

age 9-10 started acting out. Likely i also have some adhd problems.

By the end of my sophomore year, I was absolutely comfortable in high school (still the only place I'm completely comfortable in) and was able to jest and joke without a thought. I know some people hated me for it, but overall it actually worked out really well for me, socially.

If by 'acting inappropriately' you mean, engaging teachers in discussions and openly mocking other students, then yes.

i was labeled by some principals as a "class clown" but they were wrong.

a lot of my schooling was in adolescent units, but i did go to some mainstream schools. i was expelled from every one.

i played with my teachers like toys because i was a smug and snobby child. i was not very nice then. my parents were much richer and more accomplished than my teachers, and i did not care about what the teachers thought or whether i would be expelled. i knew my parents would not care much either because they would expect it from me and not be surprised.

so i always chipped away at my teachers worst sensitivities and i got them angry deliberately. i used to try hard to make them lose their cool and i very much felt good when they lost their composure. that is an ODD thing i guess.

i never said anything that was obviously offensive, but i just chipped away at them.
the class did not notice until the teacher blew up at me and they all watched on as i interacted with the teacher while i was being chastised.

the other kids used to find their own entertainment in my behavior, but they were irrelevant to me as i played with my teachers.

when unrelated teachers came by the classroom, they noticed that the other kids were all in a state of disruption and hilarity, and it was about my antics with my teacher, so they reported that to the principals and they said i was a "class clown" in their reports of me because many people were seen laughing about my predicament.

i saw my teachers as almost like wind up toys. if i can screw the key in their back hard enough, they will have a spring collapse that will result in uncharacteristically immature behavior.

that was what i wanted to entertain my self with. other kids were just bystanders.

I was a HUGE class clown...I made jokes out loud in front of the class, threw things, instigated food fights...I got in trouble a lot

Then in 4th grade, I had a teacher who just did not stand for it at all So that was the end of that

In primary school I was the usual suspect heh heh. I made innaproproate jokes in lessons, was stroppy with teachers, I acted out. I calmed down in time for high school fortunatly.

Nope. Occasionally in high school I would try to join in some joke or other and would usually either get those blank stares I hate so much or would be called out by the teacher for being too loud. It was so mortifying, I stopped trying.

I was pritty much a class clown/badly behaved student down to a tee. I was threatened with expulsion every year from year 8 (im in the uk) till year 13. I prposely pissed off teachers, teaching assistants, dinner staff, caretakers; basically very member of staff at both schools i went to. I was imature and hyperactive, lodes of the teachers thought i was either on drugs or had adhd, I just was completely unable to calm down once i was excited.

Socially it worked for me, other students found it entertaining (a few found it unbelieveable annoying of course),but never got expelled because I was top of most of my classes and so good for school ratings. I've calmed down dramatically now, rarelly get those lovelly moments of hyperactivity-I sometimes miss it-but it's all for the best. Still, never have been diagnosed with adhd, already got to many labels to bother myself with that one aswel. But yeah, fun times

This is an interesting thread. I talked incessantly in class - witty, hilarious, inappropriate remarks - from grade 4 on. Don't remember before that. The main form of punishment was detention, and I guarantee that I hold, by a long shot, the all-time record for the number of detentions in the history of the school (and most of my teachers were especially indulgent to me). Also, I never, ever did my homework. Apart from a very small number of zealot students, my classmates found my "contributions" highly amusing and incredibly gutsy. I avoided more serious consequences because I was at the top of my class and wasn't malicious.

What I find hilarious is that my son was the exact opposite of me. He would have been mortified to get into any sort of trouble at school, and he completed every assignment he ever received to utter perfection. From what I have seen, my son's social behavior was more in line with what is generally perceived as AS. I thought that my social behavior was so far outside the AS norm that I have considered that I am autistic but not necessarily AS.
