Well I was at a regular school but for some of the time in special classes, I hated normal school it was a living hell. The special classes were better, the teacher who ran the unit was much better and more friendly than the "normal" teachers.

I know you aimed your question at those with classic Autism however I hope you don't mind if I answer too.

Diagnosed ASD I was told in would have been Asperger's a couple of years ago.

I went to mainstream schooling jen and let me tell you it was Hell on earth for me.

I was bullied by almost everybody.

Doing physical education was the worst the two most popular boys would get to pick teams and I would be the very last sitting there nobody wanted me.
I sometimes wish that PE teacher dies a horrible death of cancer in dreadful pain that is how much of a scar that experience has left on me.

Jen Aspies are not some elite among autistics.

My spelling is bad my social skills are a joke.

I have never been independent nor have I ever managed to get into a relationship.

I have all the sensory issues that go with autism and I have failed my driving test twice this year.

Having said all that Jen I am looking at life in a positive way.

Jen if the classes you are in are helping you use them and don't feel ashamed.

Being so called high functioning I can appear close to normal or even normal if I don't have to get to know a person.
Close is not good enough however the degree of Autism does not really matter Autistics don,t fit in with mainstream society.

Jen you like your doll collection I like my sc fi movies and trust me at 40 my interest is not considered normal but I don't care I enjoy them.

We are all Autistics here.

I only ask because they might be changing my school placement. And I want people more in my scenario to Answer but all but aspies are free to answer. We're you in a regular class? Did you have an Iep?

Btw I also like South Park

Yes Jen I was just saying have a bit of confidence in youself.

Was is Lep?

I am a South Park Nut.

Whoops I mean an IEP individualized education plan

Anyway as you can tell from my other post a lot is going on A lot of bad situations with school and my mental health

So am I watch it every week butters is my favorite character so far but I also like Misterion

No I was just put in slow learners class.

My mental health has been through some very rough patches but trust me things do get better.

What do you mean a slow learners class?

Butters is my favourite too along with dear sweet Eric Catman.

Hey SharkAttack, you've just made 1000 posts. You could change your "phoenix."

In secondary school it called high school in the USA there were about 7 different groups 5 of the groups did the hard exam and two did the easy exam I was in one of the classes that did the easy exam.

They didn't have IEP's when I was young. They were introduced in 1975, when I was going to 9th grade.

I was in "regular" school from late 1972 to early 1975--6th to 8th grade.

Then I went to a special school for "gifted underachievers." They had their own "plans."

Congratulations shark attack

Let the good times roll.

Thanks Jen.
