Has anyone experienced difficulties in school due to Autism?

During my time at school starting from 4th grade, I started having issues socially in developing friendships and other things despite being a straight A student. The problems got worse in Middle school where I was being bullied and reporting to the school staff was useless since they wouldn't handle said issues. So I would like to ask has anyone experienced any issues or were bullied in school as a result of autism/neurodivergence?

i've also been in that kind of situation where I've been bullied but the staff does nothing and if they do anything they would just take both me and the other person into the principal's office and they still do nothing about it. so I can't recommend anything else to do about it

I think the main “problem” (autism is not a problem) is how people view autistic people or people generally on the spectrum:(

The kids at my school don’t think I can be autistic because I’m smart and speak well, etc and that’s a really bad stereotype. They also tend to make fun of people with words like “acoustic” because apparently that’s funny?

Another problem for certain districts (I’m looking at you CCSD) is that they ignore IEP’s a lot, so having autism or being on the spectrum is definitely something I always end up fighting for.

Keep working! I hope you figure this out

In general, i notice it a lot. No one talks to me and we get casted as the "weird people". In germany here even teachers might criticize you more than other because you dont act öike how they expect you to
