how disabilities affect ppl

[whoeful]

yessss this, when i was at school there was this one woman who taught us PE and she knew I had the slip to get out if i needed to.

tho every time I used it in her lesson she always came running after me screaming and shouting at me to get back to go back to pe, saying i shouldnt have the card and threatening to rip it up calling me attention seeking blah blah
made me so much worse and pretty much scared to go to her lesson

some staff are the opposite of helpful

yeah i had a teacher like that, put me in iso for having an anxiety attack in PE, saying its not real and his wifes a doctor and that its all fake, he didnt even know me lol but i didnt see him after i reported it, first time i spoke to him

Yeah this was like me, teachers were not really helpful/understanding until my head of year emailed all my teachers informing them about my dyspraxia etc

i have autism and dyslexia, before in school it would cause to be very stressed and id often end up getting frustrated and angry and struggled to cope in a large mainstream school which caused all the exclustions. Spent months out of school which massilvely affected my education and with spending little time with others my own ages it didnt help my soical skills either
But now after being at college 4 years its alot better well ive learnt to not get angry with people but realised nope they cant rele which also causead my mind and really most of them are just trying to help and if i ask they do such as always having the same seat in exams at the back and at the edge so im not in the middle, when we do test in lessons i do them in a separate room and i had staff i knew well who i could ask to speak for me
i never bothered speaking to others at school i did intend to be but when it came to it the idea of speaking just couldn't actually do it.
Also got stressed if their was any change to the routine at the start of this year i got kicked out for 3 days and i wasnt happy about having 3 days off just spent 3 days being stressed
then these certain smells i cant stand such as the smell of books and our geology room was very small so had to sit at a table alot of other peopd me to be stressed for most of geology.
These also many ways it affects that i dont even realise such as talking loads about one thing and little eye contract. As a kid my obsession was dogs (this caused alot of bullying but it makes me laugh that they still do it now years later) now its more planes and sometimes rocks
AS for the dyslexia thats just makes me annoyed at how bad my spelling is. i have to reword stuff cos i cant spell a word and spend ages trying to figure it out. o then these the internet world that just take the huge piss out of it and its the one thing i cant stand people doing is commenting on my poor spelling


That was longer than i thought it was....

Seen autism mentioned in this thread, theres a documentary by Louis Theroux, it's on netflix UK, in the louis theroux playlist. episode 20. Called Extreme Love - Autism, it's a really moving documentary, about autism, and really severe cases of autism He goes to a special school; one of the best schools for autism in America it moved me a lot and educated me about it, really good.
