Somehow the Virgo saints and the smell of incense or spices makes me nervously scared.

Disgusting. So, if I want a job, I have to NOT say I'm aspie ?!

Not always, but unfortunately this is sometimes the case. Society was founded to be accessible for abled people, so people who are not “normally abled”, like ND or physically disabled people, have a much harder time. This also applies in jobs -- many people might see the aspie/autism label and think you’re not qualified.

This is why it’s best to not mention it/use a disability-specific job finder. I was fired from my last job when they found out I had bipolar disorder.

Two questions; 1) What is kinetic sand ? 2) I stim by drawing, but my teachers keep on telling my parents, even if they are supposed to know I am Autist/Aspie. (well one told me I can go home if I'm sick when I re-told them but w/e), what should I do ?

Kinetic sand is awesome, here’s a video that shows what it is (there’s no words to it, just music)

I tried it out at a local Spencer’s store that had it out for demo. It has a very interesting texture to it, kind of smooth and not too gritty. Doesn’t feel like sand, more like a sponge kind of? It doesn’t stick to your hands but it does leave an interesting little residue, but it’s not too bad.

As for the 2nd part of your question, I’m a little confused. If you’re drawing during school instead of doing schoolwork, then you’ll probably need to find a way to focus on schoolwork and complete that first. I liked to scribble circles in the margins of my paper while thinking. Sometimes I’ll draw a line in the corner and shade in the enclosed area as well.

But there’s a line that has to be drawn (pun unintentional) so you’re not distracting yourself from important work. If you can show your teachers that you have the work completed and accurate, then they should probably leave you alone to draw all you want as long as you’re not disruptive. I used to do this with reading, too. I’d bring a book (usually Harry Potter ) and finish my work, then dive into my book. Whenever a teacher came around I just pointed to my paper to show them it was done and went back to reading.
