I was treated differently because I'm brown. I had, you know, really racist behavior when I was in high school in 10th grade. I was called 'Brownie,' 'Curry,' (told to)'go back on the elephant you came on,' and that really affected me when I was a kid and affected my self-esteem. 
Will
One day, a group of 5 knew about my Aspergers and started to torment me. They called me terrible names. some curse words, some like Little Miss Boy Scout, Jerk, Stupid, Nerd, and so on. They stole my lunch, ran away and chased me, and spread sexual rumors about me. I was driven to the point of insanity and when I got back from school one day I ran to my room and cried like crazy.
