I feel that forms of autism are misrepresented in the media. No two cases or forms are exactly alike.
Not only that, there are times when students are under estimated about what they can and can not learn.

Aaww, that's so sweet of your part making a topic about this ;_; Actually, it's not peoples fault being born with those disorders in their bodies. There are some people with disorders that can actually bee recognized by their expressions, like people who suffers of Down Sindrome, cerebral palsy, mentally disabled and William Sindrome, while others are not, like the Asperger Sindrome and autists ones because their face expression are just similar to the normal people. The only difference between this kinds of persons with the normals is just the slow development of learning things and the difficulty of having a good relationship with someone. However, even it doesn't look like, people who are born with these kind of disorders are actually the more intelligent ones, having at least more smartness on one life category, like something related with art, history, languages, math, etc. Because of that they get recognized by others, especially normal people, for the things they're good at. And even so the relationship might not start well because of the disorder they have doesn't mean they can't have a chance of being friends with others, even normal ones. Of course it's more preferable that this kinds of persons gets the help they need, by family, friends and mostly psychologists, so they can envolve and become more like a normal person. However, if there are some who don't want to help them because of some craps or if the disorder guy doesn't want to envolve himself then we can't do anything about that unfortunately. It's always necessary that the normal person makes an effort to be patience with this kind of people. How do I know all this? Well, even that I'm not a pro of this area, this is my life as an Autist

Well, even that I'm not a pro of this area, this is my life as an Autistic I have Aspergers to be exact. Anyway I had my share of difficulties when I was in school. People would tell me that my disorder didn't count as a disorder. Lame huh ? Anyway Glad your enjoying this topic. I feel like it's not talked about enough at some places. Another thing that bugs me is some in school told me I have it too easy. I wish people would get just because a person has a disorder it doesn't mean they have it easier they just have different life experiences then a person who doesn't have a form of autism.

I know what you mean. It's also sad for that the majority of people don't give a "shit" to this kind of situation and instead of doing things more normal as they should they just makes the different people ones feeling ridiculous. That's one of the reasons that I never wanted to share on the internet unless I feel comfortable with it that I'm an Asperger Sindrome person. By the way, I actually didn't knew you suffer of that autism too. I'm actually surprised!

A lot of people say that when I bring it up. At one time they thought I had ADD. It took some time before I had the right diagnosis. School was the worst. I was an easy bully target because of my social awkwardness I would try my best. One of the reason I am glad I graduated back in 2006. It took me awhile to be okay with eye contact. I take Strattera to help me focus and I take a blood pressure pill to help me sleep at night. Before I took my meds at home I would have to take my meds while I was still in school.
My friends would stare and ask why I took pills. It was hard to explain to them. I wasn't sure about the best way to explain it to them back then.

Like you I was also victim of bulling just because I was different from them. I only knew that I had this issue when I was on the last years of 4th grade, and because of that the psychologist and my teacher on that time thought that the best for me was to repeat the year just because I wasn't still prepared to do the next grade. It was actually for me kinda sad because the classmates that I had first at least were more friendly to me unlike the ones that I got next. Even so, people that I've been meeting who became my good friends and my family always have been trying to do their best to help me to reach my goals and dreams. However, even I would love to meet new people I feel that if I return to school for graduation I'm going to feel down again because I don't feel 100% normal next to them, and also because of to much work pressure. I at least prefer being home doing my stuff and talk with people that I know on the internet. Of course I sometimes like to go out and have fun or alone or with my friends. I also started to go on those Japanese culture events here in my country so I could meet people who has the same preferences has me and to see if I sell my artwork. What I mean is just because we have this mental problem doesn't mean we're not able to do things that we're best on our own.

Another thing that we autists have is the difficulty of controlling our expressions.
Some times when I see a person, when I eat something and/or when something happens that I don't like I can't control myself with my face expressions.
I don't know if that happens to the others either.

I get that way sometimes, and I am very picky about fabrics.
