Got kicked out of school because the teacher and principal thought I was high, when in reality the symptoms they were complaining about were really from a neurological disorder I have had since early childhood.
I even went straight from school, to a lab to get an extended drug test which showed I was completely clean.
The neurological disorder is called Tardive dyskinesia, and it causes muscle ticks, which in me affects my eyes and neck (constant unsynchronized blinking, or tensing of my neck muscles). What made the day horrible is that I had always had to deal with kids making fun or questioning my ticks, and then to have teachers making fun of it and saying "well obviously it's drug induced, no normal person would have that happen on it's own".
The ticks get worse when I'm stressed, so that didn't help.
