    Well, I haven’t had as much luck as you.

    School:

    In primary school, I was the retarded kid for some teachers and in high school, when they can’t question my intelligence, as I am universally known as smart, they accuse me of schizophrenia and disrespect. I was forced to have weekly appointments at a school psychologist for breaking some minor school rules.

    General life:

    I had to complete a psychological test for my driver’s license, where I was treated, like I was stupid (and I still didn’t get my results after around a month).

      I feel compelled to ask, but don’t demand an answer: what rules did you break?

      I presume you’re outside the US? When I got my license in the US (about 15 years ago now), you needed a pulse and a basic understanding of signage for the written part. One of the few things the US gets right is the ADA, which is why we have things like ‘reasonable accommodations’.

        Well, after thinking about it, it wasn’t so minor. I stabbed someone’s hand with a pencil after he was annoying me (I asked him to stop nicely many times). He didn’t have any proof, they just believed him as I was the autistic one. In Slovenia and probably most of EU, you have to have a medical examination for a state provided licenses and usually also work. If they don’t permit me my driver’s license, I’ll just move outside of this shithole country (quoting Borat) and live a normal life somewhere else.
