The most difficult and troublesome school subjects for students with ASD

I loved math, science and art the most. I loved reading but hated English class. I hated PE the most. I used to do algebra equations to relax and people thought I was weird. I struggled socially and hated having to talk in front of the class or get called on to answer questions. I would literally nearly pass out when I got called on even if I knew the answer. My favorite subjects in college were anything having to do with science and medicine. I aced medical terminology and anatomy & physiology. I think I liked math the most because it was fairly set in stone and predictable. It took a good teacher to actually explain to me how and why math worked the way it did before I came to truly understand and love it though. Once I understood how and why things in our universe work the way they do, I started to really enjoy learning. Same thing with IQ test puzzles. At first, I could just guess the right answer but didn't understand why. Then someone on YouTube explained what patterns to actually look for and now I can spot the answer and know WHY. Good and patient teachers and professors made all the difference in the world to me! I even found an English teacher that explained things in a way that made me not hate the class so much. Lol. We're still friends to this day and that was over 35 years ago that she was my teacher! I found that I liked diagramming sentences and she made me see a connection to language I never saw before. It made me want to be a teacher myself but my social anxieties got in the way of me believing in myself so I went another direction. I studied medicine instead but then got too sick to finish medical school. I still love teaching other kids that remind me of myself when I was young though and tutor when I can. A quiet setting one on one fulfills my love of teaching better than trying to teach an entire class of rowdy kiddos. I loved and hated school. Loved learning... Hated socializing. That's about it in a nutshell.
