I was in Special Education in North Texas. I have High Functioning Autisim/ Asperger Syndrome. But it’s not to the extend where I am fully disabled.

I thought this was a great video and wanted to showcase it–but was surprised to see that it was not “accessbile” and captioned?

May i ask permission in using this video and posting it in my site as a link. This would be very helpful to those other spedmajors who would be visiting my site. Thank you very much.

Man, both of my IQs are above normal, and I was placed in there. I have some focusing problems, but I had a lot of personal problems as well. Try, please, try to get away from them before it’s too late. Your life depends on it. Mine is destroyed. It doesn’t get better. Don’t listen to them. Get away!

The teachers are often horrible. I don’t mean to be rude but 1:1 doesn’t work if half is in the dark. Not that I’m blaming, but we should be separated so that we’re together at least instead of socially outlawed and taunted by even teachers at a time when we can’t fight back. Sometimes people improve. We don’t have a chance in that environment. I tried to drop to get a job, but since I was special, I was special. It’s cool. I know that I was really craving that amount of attention.

I’ll tell you a secret, what they dont tell you. ADHD is a mental blessing…a hyper active brain capable of far surpassing those with regular abilities. You think faster, and you think more, Math bores you because unlike most, you think faster, you think beyond. Find something that interests you, lock on, and you’ll do it better than anybody else. Algebra , and the entire school system, is made for those normal, the majority, to ’suceed’,,that is, make it into “normal ” life. u dont need that

I’m special ed (ADHD) and I try not to let it bug me. It’s really hard to focus on things that don’t interest me (mostly algebra). I hate how I won’t go to special ed classes because I will be made fun of and be in a room all day with people that are usually far more ill than myself. I take normal classes to be normal and be like everybody else but I hate how stupid I look compared to the other kids. I’m always done on an assignment last and I usually do bad on them. ADHD sucks.
