I know school is almost over, but I was made fun of for my adhd and my autism and kids make fun of my appearance and the teachers they do nothing at all for bully me and the only people who helps me when people are bullying me are my friends and my parents.

My daughter has autism, she entered the school in 2nd grade and despite having her doctors diagnosis of ASD, they stuck her in a regular classroom and expected her to act accordingly while they spend several MONTHS doing their own ASD testing. Her placement in a regular classroom led to the suspending my 7 year old repeatedly for "behavior issues". I was getting phone calls almost every single day from her teacher, the counselor, the caseworker, etc regarding her behavior. She was suspended nearly once a week! And shes only on the mild/high functioning side of the spectrum! It took them almost 6 months to place her in an appropriate classroom with a teacher who knew how to teach children with ASD and the difference was night and day! That teacher was excellent and all of a sudden the phone calls home stopped. She never got suspended again either. The whole process to getting her into the appropriate classroom was a nightmare and made my child's first introduction to public school miserable.

I’ve never seen so many kids dropping out of a School because of Bullying. The Principal and/or Staff have effectively turned the School over to the students who think it’s okay to harass and assault other kids that don’t fit into their Social Clicks. I’m going to be pursuing this further with the Govenors office in Tallahassee.
