I have a mild-ish case of Aspergers, although it is very much something I grew to live with. Even the person I was a year ago would be barely recognisable next to the person I am today. However my Aspergers is also very strong in some areas, while others I have learned to deal with. The most obvious example is I CANNOT take subtle hints. An ex-friend of mine actually left me over this, cause she was sick of me not being able to take her "hints" or understand why I'd annoyed her this time.
Another time, four-ish years ago at my old school, we were doing group work in maths class. To give a bit of backstory, I used to regularly correct my teacher in class, once going as far as to create and prove a formula for Egyptian Fractions that proved HALF of her answers wrong. Anyway, as you can tell I was quite far ahead of this class, so when we were forced to do group work the rest of my group, vicious sharks that they were, deliberately wouldn't let me take part in it, just to frustrate me. Wouldn't listen to me telling them how to do it or anything. Eventually they fucked up horrifically and told me to do the work. It was a geometry thing and I got my drawing out by about two degrees, but this was not acceptable to the rest of the group who immediately started taunting me. I spoke to the teacher, mentioning how I hated group work and she said "Well you have to do it," and I said "But I have Aspergers, I really struggle with it, to which she replied (wait for it):
"Are you just gonna use that as an excuse all your life?"
Needless to say my parents and I were fucking disgusted. We wrote to the headmaster, who refused to apologise. The teacher also refused to apologise. This is at a fucking GRAMMAR SCHOOL. You know, the top ones. Where they're supposed to have pride in their gifted students and help them work, not tell them they're using Aspergers as a fucking excuse. My new school is far better, it even has teachers informed I'm gifted/Aspergers and they have to plan the parts of the lesson involving me accordingly. That said I made a complete fuck up of my GCSEs in the process, but that's cause I just didn't work til it was too late.
I know Aspergers doesn't count but I'm just showing how reactions to it can be horrifyingly stupid.
