We had a different acronym for it in my day: BLALB (Behaving Like A Little Bastard) Also, Autism was referred to as being "nervous" or "Highly-strung". And no, we didn't pay the witch doctor in pebbles, smart ass. You know how much one pebble bought in my time?!!

I think I once told you the story of how a psychologist told me that I can't have any form of autism 'because you looked me in the eye when you shook my hand, and you're able to go to college'
They should read some of our exchanges

j/k

honestly, being a moderator on a music forum should be classified as a symptom of autism

Oh god the teacher lunch table... ****ing **** pissed me off so much. And they wondered why I sat alone reading my novel. All they ever did was bitch about the kids.

They drove me crazy too tbh but I didn’t want to talk about during lunch. Plus, it’s unprofessional unless there’s an academic purpose to it.

That's a good point. Sort of related to that, I once overheard two teachers gossiping about who's dating who among the students and it weirded me out, like that's student talk, you're kind of supposed to rise above that ****.
I also had some teachers who openly gossiped to the students about other teachers though, that **** was hilarious

Idk the situation but that can be really harmful to a teacher’s career if the students know the other faculty don’t respect them.

With adolescents it’s a killer. I got real teachery about it “If you say anything bad about Ms So&So it’s the same as being disrespectful directly to me. If you have a problem in her class I can arrange a meeting with guidance for you.”

Not saying it was the same what you’re talking about. Not judging.

In really dysfunctional schools the kids are weaponized against certain teachers though. If they know no one has got your back they’re ****ing sharks.

Oh sorry you meant when you were a student. I thought you were talking about your colleagues.

Yup, I'm right there with you. And then they go home and drink their cheap wine, bitch about it to their husbands who have heard this **** a million times (usually....or their cats) and then they go back in the next day and the cycle continues.

There are some teachers who genuinely care about their students and helping them learn and grow - and god bless those teachers. I only had a couple like that in my life. More often than not, it was the tenured ones who couldn't give a rat's ass if you learned or not and they were just there collecting their paycheck and babysitting you.

Yep I was talking about school teachers, my situation is different of course
Totally agree that it's a harmful thing, but teenage me didn't care about that

IDK if ADD is over diagnosed any more than depression or anything else. I think it's just overtreated. I know this goes against the science pharma mob but I don't think just cause you have a disorder you need drugs. I legit believe I have ADD because I notice that I go into sorta autopilot a lot when I'm doing repetitive tasks and sometimes start ****ing up cause I wasn't paying attention. Also if I start reading something half the time my mind wanders somewhere else and I end up staring at the same page for 10 minutes thinking in tangents that branch off one another.

But that doesn't mean I need drugs for it. The drugs can be worse than the disorder.

Same with the whole bipolar/depression ****. I know some people do need those drugs but I've lived without them this long and I feel fine. I'm not drugging myself just cause they prescribed it to me. Maybe the diagnosis is actually accurate, idk. IDC. I'm good without the pills.
