Recently my teachers have name shamed me and said very directly that I am autistic and that I may be on the autism spectrum disorder.
I asked them could they give me examples?
They said that I am a 'perfectionist' and am rude to teachers (when I am not).
I challeneged them write then and there and said that to an extenet everyone is a 'perfectionist' in some point of their life and in their academic career. I do admit that I check my homework exam question answers to see whether i am on the right track, before submitting it in class, but that does not mean that I look at the answers totally when doing any homework or test.
And as far as they claim i have been rude to teachers, i have not. I have always been very communicative with teachers and it is the teachers fault that they can even understand a simple sentence to what i am saying, when i have said to them very clearly and politely about something related with the subject and UCAS.
I am being verbally bullied like this and this is one kind of labelling that they are doing.
They say that I am autistic all the time whenever i am talking and having a conversation with them and that i should get tested more, if in case they think i have autism, doesnt get cured when i go to uni.
This level of words and treatment to someone who is not at all autistic is being said and all the time they are labelling me with this words.
Surely, everyone is a perfectionist in some point of their academic career for their own academic career benefits in long run?
I dont really understand now what to do.
I have kept my calm so far.
And you know the best part is that they have this unconscious bias towards me that whatever i do something good with best intentions in class tests and homework, i am a perfecctionist and a cheater.
They have made up their mind and wont change my UCAS Predicted Grades,especially for Maths and Chemistry.
I have been extremely calm and composed with this whole situation but now I am really starting to lose my patience over this.
It is like they are on a mission to prove that I am definitely autistic, to a non autistic person.
Please help me anyone.
