Aspie Valedictorian

That's a really inspiring story. Not to mention that it comes out of my local newspaper.

“Sometimes it’s not even a shyness, sometimes it’s like a fear, a fear of socialness.”
 
Finally, another that did as I did. I was Valedictorian, then graduated university Magna Cum Laude. (Yes all but my final year of university was via correspondence.)

I did not know I was an Aspie at the time and was not in special education but, I did have to go to the school speech therapist until fifth grade. I misspoke and misspelled words. I spelled them as I pronounced them so, I came up with things like:
pethgity (spaghetti)
ilunfuntin (elephant)
Beberly (Beverly)
howsh (house)

Those are just the few I remember now.

Math beyond what I could count on my fingers, I never got but, by sixth grade we were allowed to use calculators so, it never mattered.
