I'm 13y old that was recently diagnosed with ASD. School is starting soon, they surely haven't changed nor a little bit. They're just bunch of idiots that like to express their pain and anger on others. Or just fool them for fun. Reporting them does nothing (have been doing that for almost 6 years). It's like reporting system in CP (Club Penguin), no one is even sure if it even does anything. I never do anything to them, I just stare at them or do something else. That I have blank face or sound calm dosen't mean that I'm calm. When I answer in short sentences that either means that I don't have inspiration to talk or that I hold lots of emotions in me. And, about blank face... I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE BLANK FACE. I almost never express my emotions on my face. So, should I just throw a tantrum without caring for consequences or act tought. Does entire community of ASDers need to act like douchebags just to not be an easy target for bullying?!

P.S I've posted this in c/autism because I feel like this problem is deeply tied with my personality. -medvedev-

You're so young, I know this may not help, but please remember this is just right now, not forever. Things can and will improve.

Are you in a bigger school? Any other neurodivergent people you could align with?

Neurodivergency is like 0.5% of the population. Even if we assume 149 ppl (excluding OP) are a completely random bag, that would mean roughly 149*0.5/100 ppl are ND, thats close to 0.75 we don't know the standard deviation of this statistic otherwise we can calculate the probability of having at least one other ND individual.
