Well when I was first diagnosed my school would just occasionally lock me in a room separated from the rest of my class and it only somewhat ended when my parents found out what was happening and even then the extra help I got was just doing my school work in a different room and when I tell them it's not helping my teacher would simply lock me up again all the extra help did was just preventing me from having a social life and all of this was happening even after changing schools and all my folks could do is find a psychiatrist that would undiagnose me Edit: in hindsight I recall seeing a reddit post I'm to lazy to dig back up on r/Vermont talking about how a pedophile was fired from a daycare and the comments were talking about how it turns out child abuse is commonplace in Vermont daycares and that very same predator got a job at a different daycare so I guess the moral of all this is if you're a parent keep your kids far away from Vermont the schools have abousers and the daycares have predators
