While I was never ‘normal’ myself, I’ve often thought of one kid in particular. He wore very old fashioned and formal clothes. He also spoke in a very precise and formal way and just felt off. Occasionally he would make odd and racist comments.

As an adult, I think his story is quite sad actually. Today I think he may have been somewhat autistic, and I think I heard he was raised by his grandmother. He didn’t pick his own clothes, his old granny just dressed him how she thought was proper. I don’t know what happened to his parents, but I doubt it’s a happy story.

I hope he is doing okay. He was never going to fit in back then, and it was not his fault.

No one was weird enough to be ostracized at my school tbh, but I went to small middle and high schools

Mine got kicked out of anime club because he kept looking up hentai

Pants at the ankles at the urinal.

Shit, I think I was the weird kid

Talked in the third person.

I dunno, they just didn’t like me.

Not my story but from a guy I met playing a mmo.

He told me he was in community college and there was some kid who always brought a fly swatter to a class they both had. The cheap ones with a colorful plastic end.

Like every single class. He took it out of his backpack and hold it in one of his hands. The whole class period.

There was some other part to the story but Ive forgotten it.

But twas community college. Guy wasn’t some young kid but a boy on the cusp of manhood.

I do believe the course was on criminal forensics. Or something related to that topic.

Which kinda made it more bizarre.

I was autistic a “women” but an egg. Didn’t know I was a lesbian. I grew up in rural with a graduating class of 34.

He was autistic (like level 2 autism, not high functioning) and really loved movies, especially actions movies. Transformers was so big to him when it started. I think people grew more tolerant and kind in high school from what I remember, but I’m sure he was still picked on.
