First of all, why should I have to revise more than him, when I am less intelligent than him, and get less time...social life is irrelevant it's an exam ffs. Oh don't worry, he certainly boasts, funny when my mate who is really smart beats him and he just has this look of wanting to murder someone on his face.

Bit hard to compete with someone that has a condition that makes his ability better than mine... he's not exactly "autistic" it just falls under that, for example the other autistic kid does actually need it, get's the same time as the kid that obviously don't, how is that fair to the people that actually need it, or people that don't get it. Can you get extra time for handwriting btw?, mine is ****ing terrible but I just have to put up with it, or the markers do anyway heh


Because you're dumber and if you want to be as good as him then you better work your ass off to get there smh stop complaining.
See your mate is really smart but you have no hatred for him - only cos the dude gets extra time (idk why you think you can decide who gets and who doesn't get extra time since you ain't a doctor) and cos the dude is happy with his grades and likes to show them off. Let him, he earned them he can say/ do whatever he wants :lol: work hard and get good grades and boast about them as well if you want.
Just stop crying cos it aint gonna get you extra time - go revise :lol:

females aren't effected as much as males


When they say females aren't as affected as males they mean the proportion of people, Like for every 4 or 5 autistic people only one will be female. it has nothing to do with how severely we are affected by said disability and it's affects.

People with autism find it more difficult to block out distractions and concentrate on the task at hand - a flickering light, an uncomfortable chair, a spelling mistake on the paper could all lead him to not perform at his best.

I think the attitude to take is if he gets 25% extra time, don't you think his condition makes his academic life 25% more difficult than yours?

Autism enhances intelligence? It means people have to try and work even harder to fit in with the 'norm', as I'm sure you take the piss out of him if he acts a little strange, so in reality if the choice he's made is to be intelligent you must respect that


Naa you can't take the piss out of him. Does annoy me that I can't say anything about him being a **** tho

a kid in my school, has aspergers or whatever it's called. He's more intelligent than anyone in the school, and retains information without doing hardly/much work and get's amazing grades. But the thing that gets me, is that he has an extra half an hour in every exam, despite him getting nearly 100 percent in everything and being predicted A*'s, he's excuse is that it takes his brain longer to function(which is bs he's quicker than everyone in class and is always on the last question when we leave). Then if he beats one of us in an exam, he gets really cocky and gloats about it. I feel this is pretty unfair.


No offence bro, but that is none of your concern. Your main focus should be aiming to improve your grade. Whilst your concerning yourself about him, he's probably revising his butt off

Surely it would piss you off though?,especially when someone gloats to you, knowing you got less, in a condescending manner. One time he did it to my friend and he said "if I got an extra 20 minutes I would have got that..." lol



Pft, dude i'm having to re-take my GCSE maths next year due to only getting a D a couple of years ago when I took the exam.

I don't know where this whole "Austic's have magically maths abilities" thing came from, but I call total Bull***t on it.

You can't get extra time for just writing slow I think, you'd have to have a medical condition that causes it. It would be easier just to revise than convince loads of people you have something wrong with you medically.

Not writing slow but having to write slow for it to be..readable, though I can read it and my teachers can, though saying that the examiners managed last year..but my teacher wants me to use a laptop. which seems harder to me(having to draw in graphs) just awkward and insulting.

I have aspergers and i have real trouble retaining information that I really just don't care about, and I have a habit of mad procrastination skills, but that kid you're talking about needs to have a bit of a talking to.
