What having autism was like in School for me.

I feel just like you do. I go on a school made for autistic children and there is about 8 to 9 kids in each class. My class has these "workplaces" with instead of an actual classroom each student gets a closed off space with two walls isolating everyone else. I fucking hate these boxes! There are so depressing it's insane. Everyone is in a box for them self and no one is talking with anyone which goes against My extroverted nature. Almost everyday the teachers needed to tell me that i wasn't allowed to talk with anyone and if i did they would get stressed out and they wouldn't be able to do any schoolwork. God i hate it. Now Each year all classes have some change to them like students or teachers getting replaced etc. Anyways this year our class is split into atoms and I was going into a new class for ninth grade. And before summer started i got to meet them and see the classroom and to My surprise there was no boxes!! And they all seemed verynice and openly talked to me which was really suprising so didn't know what the Hell to say because i was so used being ignored no matter what i did!

So i can definitetly understand where your coming from and I Can't wait for that to happen to me.
