Bouncing my leg. Staring out the window. Always answering questions (If you don't want the answer to a question, don't ask it in my presence. I WILL answer, and if you get upset, it is on you) Of course I grew up before the modern definitions of Autism and ADHD

I was about 14 when I finally worked out it was sometimes better not to put my hand up. Then as an adult, figured out that in training it's often better to answer the question because most other adults don't want to and will happily leave the trainer hanging...

One time in first grade, I tried imitating a cutesy winky face I saw in a movie trailer in front of some friends while in line to go outside. My teacher insisted I made an ugly face towards her, and I got in trouble.
-
The same day, I was using a stim phrase to calm myself down and I was really quiet. My friends called me “Crabby Abbey,” and when I repeated the name and said I wasn’t, they ran off and told the teacher I said the word “crappy.” Got in trouble AGAIN, and I felt so betrayed.

working on my eraser dust collection the part that annoyed me most was that no one even asked me *why* I was doing it, just did the most to try and get me to stop (confiscated everything involved, sent me to the principal who lectured me for way too long, called my parents)

the inside of my desk was super messy and disorganized in elementary school, so my teacher dumped the contents of it on the floor and i had to clean it up

I used to hum/sing in class. Not one of my classmates complained as we were all like 4-5-6 years old. This absolute butt of a teacher gave me detention for everytime I humed. In one day I could rack up 6-7 detentions as a freaking 5 year old.
