In Art class, I heard a boy say Aspergers and I think it's the same one who made fun of it.Yes, new reader, I have Aspergers Syndrome. I did a post on it in July The Boy who made fun of Aspergers. Something tells me that the boy who made fun of Aspergers does art in the same class as ME! GULP! I will listen out to hear if he said the same thing me did as on the bus and if he does, I will tell Ms O'Grady  about it. There are students in Portlaoise College who are autistic so the staff already know. If the boy is on social media and bullies me, I will tell my dad ASAP.

How's the book going?   Good.

I sank into my seat and watched the world go by with nothing to do. My earphones died and I didn't want to blare Minecraft across the bus. When we got back to Portlaoise College, I came out, hiding the frown until I told mum in the car, I felt like crying from it. It left scars. I told dad and he contacted Noel Daly (a few times because of being busy), the principle of Portlaoise College and he said that he would look into it. The next day, I to...
