Explaining before I Begin

A few things you need to know. No, this isn't a suicide note. If I want to write that, it will be in a code from a book series. 

I have PDDNOS. This isn't a disease. It stands for Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified. The closest my parents could get to explaining this to the school district was calling it Asperger's Syndrome. I am on the spectrum, but I am NOT retarded. In fact, my IQ is at least 132. Not that it makes me any more pleasant to be around. 

To others, I am annoying, arrogant, lazy, rude. I go by many names. Bitch, Wierdo. According to my first and still best friend, I was downright scary. I guess that's why she was the only one willing to go near me. She managed to befriend the beast. 

I have a brother 15 months younger than me, a sister the age of 6, a mother, and a father. Keith(not my brother's real name, remember) has ADHD, and is addicted to his video games. He wakes up around 7 every morning, even now in the summer, to put on his headset and kill people in fortnite and destiny. 

Candy(sister, NRN) Is in an odd phase where she acts like a cat or dog while being next to a social butterfly at school. I know the truth though. She is probably on the spectrum as well. All of the older children my age tease her. 

How do I know when people are making fun of one another? That is the problem.

I don't.

I can barely tell inflections in voices, if I can hear them. That is for later.

But I can tell when a kid is laughing at my sister and poking fun at her meowing.

It isn't funny when 14 year old boys who should be focused on school or sports start teasing little kids who don't understand when their are the butt of someone else's joke.
