Average autism experience tbh

That, and teachers really fucking hate being called out on something for some reason.

All my teachers were fine with it honestly :3 at least after primary school.. if you corrected them they might've given you extra credit

But the general notion of saying something correct and people saying that that's wrong, and not knowing why still stands

Once I got into Gifted teachers were like that. My first couple years in normie classes suuuucked.

Then in Gifted the bullies got much smarter. Fun times.

You had an extraordinary school experience.

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe :3 I think my school wasn't that highly ranked nationally, but I don't know how others were in terms of the teachers so can't compare.. It definitely had a lot of other issues tho haha

Teachers and parents. So many tend to double down when you point out their mistakes.

All they got in life is their self-declared superiority over literal children

Yep, am autistic, can confirm.

As with Union of Kobolds, I eventually got into the 'gifted' program... they even had me as a 2nd and 3rd grader basically being an unpaid tutor for 4th and 5th graders, sitting in the hallway, helping kids with reading difficulties (in all liklihood, undiagnosed dyslexia) read through kids books.

But, there's always classes and teachers not part of the gifted program, and they're often difficult and wrong and rude for no reason.

I still remember a chemistry teacher getting very angry with me for even bringing up quantum scale electron clouds as a model of atoms.

Not allowed to go beyond the Rutherford-Bohr model, even in discussion, always dismissive and rude, incapable of saying just 'yes that is a more accurate model, but it is far too complex to go over without understanding Rutherford-Bohr first'.

... Or just a smart kid. Me and my friend in school were also early in learning about negative numbers, but our teacher was positive about it and encouraged us to use them in the problems even though the other kids didn't need to.
