Very difficult. I am diagnosed with ADHD and Aspergers. Aspergers is one of the lowest forms of autism. I cannot explain Aspergers, just imagine getting mad very easily for the smallest things, and having anxiety in non-stressful scenarios. I grew up, with people making fun of me for what I have and how I act, and have excluded me from many things from it. I had a lot of trouble making friends, as well, because I could never understand how to maintain a proper friendship or not annoy the hell out of people. I was and still am, very annoying, and I have ruined many friendships from it. However, I was one of the smartest kids in my elementary and high school years, and was always recognized as a person with issues. I would get top grades, top everything, but I had not been able to socialize. I grew up in a pretty lenient family. My father, being Iranian, was not quite accustomed to how Canada works, and had some trouble raising me and my sister. My mother, Italian, understood me a bit more than others, as she is the co-owner of an association for handicapped people, my grandmother, the owner and founder. As a child, I had many issues with violence. I would always get hooked on violent stuff, and I was sheltered from all violence for years. My parents would not let me buy toy guns, watch very mildly violent video games, and my father, whom was a proud owner of 12 firearms, sold his guns due to my issue with violence. I caused a great amount of trouble for my parents, and have made them very fed up with me. For years I had tried to change. I was very selfless, but too selfless, I had always cared for everybody even though some were assholes towards me. I got expelled from an elementary school in the second month, and was put into a different school. My life was hard, my parents were always stressed from me, they had lost a lot of money from coming to pick me up from school. I was given a lot of aid, like educators, strategies, but nothing and nobody but myself could help. I got into many fights, and in highschool, was made fun of for being Iranian, I was called a terrorist and have been told "allah-akhbar" many times, and it led me into smoking, at age 12. I was on pills for my ADHD and Aspergers, and smoking fucked me up when those three were combined. I started becoming addicted, and because of me being very naiive, I started marijuana. I had done marijuana for 5 years afterwards, and it helped somewhat, but I stopped because it effected my grades. I self harmed at one point, at around 14, and almost committed suicide. Then I met the girl of my dreams. She had ADHD just like me. She was crazy like me. I loved her, we hung out everyday, I went to her house, she came to mine, but she did not have feelings for me. I felt very confident around her. One day, I grew the balls to ask her out, but she rejected me, and it hurt me very much, more than it should have. I felt unwanted, and became an asshole to everyone. I started not giving a fuck. My teachers would make fun of me for my issues, and at one point I was fed up. In class, I was having trouble focusing, and the teacher was doing a lesson on how the mind of dogs work, and used me as an example. "As you can see, /u/Xxchip497xX is just like a dog, he cannot keep his mind focused. I gotvery flustered from that, got up and yelled to my teacher "I may be the dog, but you are the bitch". I walked out and left the school, which led to the school calling the police because I was off school grounds. When I finished highschool, I had good grades, and made into a college. I changed a lot. In college I met the girl of my dreams, whom I am very happily married to today. She accepted me for who I am, and what I do. I became successful, and managed to maintain a job. I had frequently visited my parents and everytime I did I would tell them how sorry I am for putting you through years of stress. Now my life is okay. I have learned to cope with my issues, and have realized that everybody has their own issues. I am not the only person. Growing up was difficult. Anybody who is currently going through what I am going through, remember this: Don't matter what people tell you, how they treat you, you are just as important in society as they are. They can go fuck themselves.
