For school leavers

[richbebo]

Just wondering, i know school is very hard for aspies because at this young age we dont know much about socialising even though its one of the first rules of survival. I have found though since i have left and started socialising because i want to and not because i have to that i have learned alot of things, and i have always thought if i could go back to the "best days of our lives lol" at school now knowing the things i know, things would be much different. Does anyone else feel like they could face the school days again if they could?

I'm still in school, but secondary school? No, absolutely no, definately not.
I wish I'd gone to private school (people tend to be more mature there, smaller class sizes, perhaps it's just like normal school), but when the choice came up I decided just to soldier on for the last few years (what a mistake).
Primary school I do have lots of good memories of but all the same, there were some incidents and then some more. Y7-11, it's still fresh so maybe after a year or so I won't feel so badly about it anymore, but now I definately wouldn't go back.
I don't really have the benefit of hindsight because it's only been a few months, so I can't really answer the Q properly.

School wasn't much fun, I went to a good secondary school but it still sucked, I had a couple of good friends though. If I could go back to college I would. I did a topic-specific course so I was with like-minded people and we all shared a common interest so I found getting along with people a lot easier...

I think that if I had the chance to go back and do things over again, they would be very different. I have had a lot of social success this year and have been putting a lot of effort into learning how to socialise and communicate with others.

I don't think I would wanna survive school again, my secondary school felt like torture tbh.

But I must say, if I had the chance to go back to primary school again, I would do it all over again since it was the point where my life just suddenly went the way I didn't plan it to go.
