Re: False Accusations

I don't know if it's because I'm an aspie. But false accusations are part of my life apparently.

It's one of those things that puts me on edge a lot. It slowly turns into paranoia for me. I clearly have some anxiety going on daily when the mail hits, because I have no clue what's in the mail and I've gotten way too many mail where I apparently got in trouble and had to rectify my case cause I wasn't at fault at all. Anything from cancelling my social security checks to being fined an enourmous amount for tax evasion (which I clearly didn't do) up to getting the recollection agency dropping by for something that I wasn't guilty of messing up in the first place.

And then there's a lot of childhood trauma I guess that revolved around being accused. I touched on this a while ago on this forum; that I at some point was seen as troublesome enough in elementary to be locked inside during recess. That by itself is messed up if you ask me. Yet, even when I was locked in and others had fights outside they would reprimand me and I'd get in trouble even if I wasn't around. Good luck talking yourself out of that if you're a 6 year old that is somewhat communicative impaired.

I've also been acused of arson as a kid. All the kids in the area acused me. Luckily I had a valid alibi since I was with my mom all the time. I did witness the appartment building being caught in flames though since my mom took me to the supermarket and we were passing by. Yet that did not stop the majority of kids in school and the neighbourhood point their finger at me.

Oh, and there's this time I ended up at the police station for theft... while I didn't steal anything. Seemed the bike my dad got me (a used one) was reported stolen.

And I could probably keep listing things here. I might get back to that in this thread.

I was the target of false accusations at my previous job, but I don't think it had anything to do with being an Aspie. It was just the way things were at that place. :timebomb:

Wow, I am sorry. I had a friend who lost his job when the company I work for accused him of stealing. They could not prove it, but fired him anyway.

Almost as soon as I started mainstream schooling it was made abruptly clear that I was very different to normal children. It was more than just the typical mental and physiological differences that one would automatically presume between Autistic and Neural Typical children. Even then I was still noticeably broader, stronger and taller than all the other children in my year, and even taller than most of the children two years above me and just as strong as the children a year above me. Despite all this, I still had the mental capacity of a four year old. In the classroom dynamic I was something akin to -Dumb Muscle-, and as such I was a prime candidate for becoming the -Fall Guy- and the -Scapegoat- for any and all trouble caused by the other children.
