How was school for you?

I have noticed questions by carers about their children during lunch breaks. This got me thinking of my own experience.

I left school over 40 years ago and it is only in the last few years I realized I was autistic.

When I was at school a lot of lessons were quite formal which suited me. However when it came to lunchtime as all the schools I went to were nearby I went home for lunch. In the Junior school quite a few people went home for lunchtime which was nearly an hour and a half. Most occasions when I stayed it was for a club but I didn't like being at school for the whole day and especially the long lunch break.

I wonder if modern schools are more of a challenge for autistics.

    I was bullied during school like got pinned to a wall. Also knew too much.

    A PE teacher singled me out by making me to take home equipment. Was awkward on the bus. I was denied a learning support assistant. Plus a teacher had to help me throughout lessons. Was glad left this school.

    Middle school I was in a class of 36 with one teacher which was rare. Some students stayed for one term.
