I walk into my fourth period class and I instantly notice a kid sitting at the top far right of the class room. He's hunched over and holding his hands over his headphones. You can instantly tell he is high on the spectrum just by looking at him. Class starts and the teacher starts reading out the syllabus. Then she starts making us do get to know each other activities. So I get paired up with the autistic kid and a few neurotypical dickheads. The teacher put a question up on the board reading "What's the last videogame/movie/book you became obsessed with over the summer". This question obviously made the autistic kid start raving about his special interest's which happened to be Team Fortress 2 and Destiny 2. The popular kids start speaking in a sarcastic tone and ask him questions about the games whilst mocking him. He didn't understand what was going on so he answered the questions they asked honestly and all of them were laughing they're asses off while he's talking about TF2 and how much he likes spy. I don't understand what's so fucking funny about liking TF2 like actually. You have to fit into a preset fucking box for your peers in the education system to like you. Just because he was born with different genetics doesn't mean you get to make fun of them. It feels so personal and hits so close home to me because I have autism myself I was just born lucky enough to be low enough on the spectrum to mask it. It's like watching how I used to get treated before I figured out how to fit in with people. I fucking hate neurotypical ableists so much. How are you a senior in high school and haven't understood why its wrong to mistreat neurodivergent people.
