The Slow Class
6:07 PM Edit This 1 Comment »
When I was about 11 or 12 years old, I was put into the 'slow class' because my school figured that if I have aspergers then I must be stupid.
So I spent a year in this class finishing my work way before everyone and then talking to the guy who didn't even do his work. We then got separated and then so when I finished my work we used to roll bouncy balls to each other across the room behind everyone else.
What I'm really getting at I guess is that just because you have aspergers does NOT mean you are stupid. Sure it might take me longer to understand some things but at most subjects I'm really quite fast.
So don't let the teachers just put your child in this class.
In the end when I moved classes, I had to learn a lot of shit because the teacher really didn't teach me everything that the other classes were learning. So the class was really shit and I still feel offended that I was put into it.

I can kinda relate. In year 2 I was put in ESL just 'cause I'm Asian =__=;; Being born in Australia and having lived here, speaking English, all my life, it was really fucking frustrating having someone talk reeeaallyy sloowwllyy tooo meeee as though being Asian made time speed up or something, I dunno.
