I could give you my perspective, but I don't know how much it will help.
I have Aspergers, but when I was in junior high, I had no idea what it was; I just knew I was "different." (no one understood it back then). Junior high was hell. I have even written at length about those years (I am an author), although I don't want to reveal my name at this moment. I understand exactly how you feel about this. Kids are relentless at that age, and they are even worse towards those who are different and socially awkward, as I was. You are lucky, because now there is help for those with this condition! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Wish I had known what it was when I was younger; would've made my life a whole lot easier. I guess writing is my way of expressing all those frustrations in a healthy way; I have experienced a lot of healing in the past year.
