The Alltistic Podcast Episode 6 - How our School Experiences Differed Part 2 Allistic vs Autistic

Part two of going through our school experiences! If you missed part one, you can find all of the episodes in the 'Collection' on Patreon.

I cried laughing at Lewis' magic trick story, but the secondhand embarrassment HURTS 😂

A lot of this feels super personal, but I know you're all lovely here. Thank you for making me feel so comfortable 💛

Here's a bit of info about how UK school works if anyone overseas gets lost!: https://www.brightworldguardianships.com/en/guardianship/british-education-system/

Meg’s impression of a lawnmower was so funny 😂

The Scandinavian ballgame Lewis was talking about sounds a lot like “Rundbold” (Round ball) I used to accidentally smash peoples knees with either the ball or the bat 🥲 Motor skills at 0% especially with ball games

It’s still so surreal knowing that I’m not the only one who had/has these experiences… Find others who relate is invaluable ❤️

You did unlock a sad memory. In year 2 or 3, a new girl started. She didn't live too far from me, she seemed nice. So I started to become friends & we hung out a few times. But zero people in the school liked her. I used to stand up for her a little. But it was like an overwhelming tide & I really didn't get it. I too was getting bullied for liking her & standing up for her. I think eventually I stopped hanging with her & gave in to the abuse & I felt really guilty. Still do I guess. She wasn't there long, maybe a year. I wonder what it was they were picking up on? She seemed very normal, even super nice, from my memories :(

In highschool I used to just say I had a guitar lesson & not show up to PE. Would often goto the music building & just play guitar on my own, maybe had a lesson sometime that day. I was mostly adverse to the cold when it came to PE.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had PE shutdowns! But sorry you had to experience it too 😩

Ugh PE…I eventually refused to go up to bat etc, because there was too much pressure to do well (and I wasn’t athletic/coordinated), and everyone would get mad at me if/when I failed. Not worth it! The game Lewis described would probably make me cry… I once brought an entire dodge ball game to a halt- I refused to play, but was the last on my team who was still in. Everyone was yelling at me; I shutdown.

Ooh, I'll ask Lewis!

I think the game might have played either Brännboll (which indeed was and still is hell, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%A4nnboll ) there is also a possibility it was Finnish Päsepallo/Boboll https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pes%C3%A4pallo
