What's the normal struggles in schools for an Aspie? I was flying through school without any problems all the way up to HS and all of a sudden I hit a wall. The past three years I've had problems varying from understanding physics labs to simply being able to type a paper and Im not sure why. Ignoring the fact that I took naps at recess because no one ever wanted to talk to me, elementary was easy. Middle school was t bad but I had teachers I could go to. I switched schools right after freshman year and ever since then I'm constantly struggling with something.
Why is it I can understand economical and real estate trends in a breeze but struggle to simply write a paper on The Crucible? I have hard times understanding written directions just about as much as spoken ones. Sometimes I understand it better if I make the person explain it to me, but if it's wrote my mind becomes a brick wall.
My attention skills are so bad in some classes like pre calculus I practically fall asleep from boredom because I can pick up what we are doing super fast, but the second I'm working in the text book I get confused.
I'm to the point of instead of feeling like I'm smart enough to handle everything I feel like I'm as dumb as the guy asking my teacher what her underwear looks like...(which I don't understand why he'd want to know but...it's totally irrelevant to Spanish class.)
