Not so much nowadays but when I grew up my older brother always went on about what an idiot I was. He was/is somewhat of a bully joking about people around him but basically clueless as to what it means to others in terms of hurt...
Did you manage to answer him back quickly with a sharp comment that he deserved?
That was my big problem...
Usually no talk backs on my part.
how did you respond,then?

I don't think my intelligence levels have been put to speculation, but sometimes I think people think I can't understand what's happening. I can talk to people I know well, but in my class I am surrounded by loud, socially orientated and sometimes judgemental people and it takes me out of my comfort zone. As a result I don't talk often, and when I do it comes out in a babble.
I am trying to curb that though- not because I want to be normal, but becasue I am not naturally that shy- it's a defence and I want to be myself. I'm aming to talk and act as I usually would, and to fight my own battles rather than hide behind teachers skirts, which I was doing through years 7 and 8.
Why did I just write that paragraph- it isn't relevant.

I can relate to that!

Visitors always asked my mom
"What's WRONG with her?" referring to me. i walked and talked very oddly and all the usual stuff
And my mom a simple working class housewife in the 1960's wild American West, huffed up and said , "She's just DIFFERENT, that's all."
That's all.
i was hyperlexic, hard of hearing and motor challenged. meltdowns, Seizures. Muteness. Terror. weird interests & obsessions. poor hygiene. lack of eye contact. Bullied.
the usual
i was the "*** genius"
i was over 40 before anyone told me about autism.
i thought i was just different. i got used to being outside.
no opportunities or education for me, though i have a 150 IQ FWIW.
i still talk and walk funny and have a bad haircut and goodwill clothes. At least panhandlers don't bother me much, i use my "deaf voice" They can't get away fast enough.
