    I didn’t have friends in school. Hell, because of my undiagnosed autism and untreated trauma, I didn’t even have peers.

        I had that experience in school. Even in college people would invite me to their dorm and put me in strange situations just to see how I would react. They didn’t know anyone else like me.

        Felt like being in a zoo. Or a circus. It was nice to be sought out, though. And they were clueless kids, so I try to not hold a grudge about it.
