I don’t really know of this is the right place to ask this, please tell me if it isn’t, so I don’t repeat this mistake.
I am autistic and always had friends my whole life, from kindergarten to the last year of primary school. In primary school teachers hated me, because my parents told them of my autism, but I was fairly popular around schoolmates. Now in high school I had trouble fitting in from the first day, because I sometimes did weird things, sumtimes even very stupid things (falling into peoples obious traps to get me kicked out of school and they began pretending that they are scared of me and I am threatening them) and after my neighbor (who they apparently all knew) told one of my schoolmates about my autism, they started hating me even more. And now everyone even outside school hates me.
Now to my question: If I switch schools, will the problems come there with me, how can I prevent it, am I doing something wrong?
Don’t tell me to ask my parents, because they don’t take me seriously, because they think that I am unable to think normally because of autism.
Edit: I am sorry, that this post is so badly written. Even tho I am good at english in school, it isn’t my first language.
Maybe you’d want first to seek pertinent authorities in your school, seek a psychiatrist and/or even fill a report on bullying.
This. You shouldn’t have to switch schools to be comfortable.
Well, I did and they didn’t really fix this. I couldn’t go to a psychiatrist without my parent’s consent (at least I think so) and I already know, that they wouldn’t allow it.
I know if you’re at least 16 in the US (maybe younger in some states) you don’t need parental consent. I’m not sure of the specifics though.
You’re not necessarily doing something wrong, but it definitely sounds like the authority figures around you are incompetent and your peers are not accomodating.
You can’t fix the environment without putting up a hell of a fight at severe risk to your mental health. That should be the job of your parents and school administrators, but they are failing.
It’s bloody unfair, but the best advice I can give you is to A) change schools to reset your situation, and B) try to work on a persona to put up at school. Smiling, easygoing and quiet person who never gets annoyed at others is the safest bet I can think of, but many others could work.
that is something I should follow. Thanks. Edit: I should maybe try combining the two things you mentioned?
Yeah, my suggestion was meant to be both. But you know your situation best.
That sounds horrible.
I hope things get better for you.
Thanks.
