When I was young girl (middle school years), I used to wonder if there was something wrong with me. I was in a regular classroom of the public school system. I did average in most classes. I had trouble socializing (group work was difficult and I spent most of recess/lunch literally wandering and pacing around the school yard).
I neither related to the "official" special needs children (which, in the early 80's was mostly kids with Downs or other, more visible and/or obvious learning differences). I also didn't really relate to the other kids in mainstream, who thought I was odd and I had so much trouble socializing with.
I felt very alone.
Add a few fights, arguments with the teachers, and truanting into the equation, and this is pretty much me at school as well.
