Opacity 0.5 boy - half-invisible childhood -

In elementary school I was a trouble maker.

I didn't intend to make a trouble, but finally I ended up in being involved in trouble.
This was one of my typical days.
Probably the way of reaction and communication was really strange and terrible.

I simply just wanted to have a chat like other kid did, but hardly anybody turned to me.
I sometimes screamed to draw attention.
I sometimes cried because the trouble I was get involved was so severe.

But the worst thing I went through through was I was treated as if I hadn't been there.
One day in classroom, no one responded when I asked for some information to get by.
I even felt that I was invisible in the classroom.

On the other hand, I also had memory of playing with friends. Playing video games,
and playing soccer even though I couldn't play very well. There were a few times that
I was addressed.

The memory that I felt as if I had been invisible was so shocking that it had been all about the life when I was in elementary school, but I wasn't completely "invisible".
Much less than you might expect for your childhood as they were, there were some memories that I played and studied with my classmate.

Half-invisible was the word well describing when I was in elementary school

Slow Burst

My mental state is near burst. I sometimes make strange noises myself when I feel as if my brain were going to burst.

Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
