u/Obiviona

Oftentimes my homework has something to do with "interpreting" sentences or "discussing the feelings I have" while reading a text. I already struggle with understanding sayings, but this? I keep getting it wrong and I don't know how to deal with this empty, illogical stuff. I can interpret political texts, symbols, metaphors, analogies and so on, but I get to my limits quickly when it comes to poems, and when people ask me to interpret things. Isn't that... So subjective???

I have a very objective approach to as good as anything, even things that make me emotional. And usually that helps, but in this case it's just confusing. And to be honest, I think it's kind of ableist of schools to expect that any child can solve such subjective tasks, because they need them to graduate. Man... As if being autistic in school (a German school system by the way, I'm based in Germany) wasn't hard enough, they have to make random bullshit questions that no one outside of passion and special interest in poems has EVER needed.

Also: feel free to correct any grammar, spelling or other mistakes I might have made. As I said, I live in Germany and English isn't my first language. And I know some of my autistic fellas love to correct such stuff, like I do myself :)
