Do you get help in school? You should talk to your guidance counselor and let them know you're worried and what the issues are. They should be able to help you out. Talk to your teachers as well. My son has similar issues, not exactly the same but close enough. He's in a program that allows him to do regular or advanced work in a small group setting with other kids like him. He also has a 1 on 1 parapro, but he sort of shares him with other kids in his program because some of them who should have a 1 on 1 don't and lots of the time they are all together anyway.



The kids in the program are all really cool. They have very different academic levels. Some aren't able to do regular curricula, some are average, and some are very smart like my son. They all have similar needs, and have good days and bad days. Those who want to go to dances and things.



The program is only for kids with severe behavioral issues, and they pretty much all have some kind of ASD, Mood or Anxiety Disorder, and learning disability or two for extra flavor. You'd probably fit right in, and make good friends.



See if you can't get into something like that, or close enough, at your school.
