I have no idea if this is my Asperger's or not, but I go to a huge school of 1200 students.
Today I needed to get out. I'm sure Aspies will relate to this, the panic, the need to get out and to escape and to be by yourself. That's what I needed today. In fact, lately, I've been needing it too much.

I am overwhelmed by pointless rules, hordes of noisy people and the depressing, mundane atmosphere of the building. School is a disaster zone for me and I can't handle it nearly as well as my NT friends.

So what did I do? Whilst arguing furiously with a teacher about my right to leave the school when I wished (as a person), I broke down and started crying. I didn't want to argue. I just needed to get out of there.

It's a horrible feeling. You know you're inconveniencing people. I'm just glad I have a supportive mother who understands me. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if she had Asperger's too. She just understands me completely.

This post doesn't really have a point. It's just somewhere for me to talk about this and know that similar minded people will read.

I'll frolic off and drink hot chocolate now...

Sometimes noise can feel very compressing (like someone's crushing you). How much it affects you can often depend on your mood - maybe some days are worse than others. Try to find somewhere to hide. I spent my final year of school in the photography darkroom for both recess and lunch coz i didn't want to talk to anyone.
