I always doodled on the sides of my notebook pages in HS, but wouldn't have been allowed in Elementary school.

What I'd really like is to see her sitting in a room full of "peers" whose firm belief it is, based upon all that society has told them, that she is different and therefore they have the right to say anything they want to her, and all she can do is hope the one authority figure in the room makes them stop instead of sitting contentedly at her desk thinking the victim let herself in for it... Of course, if she was sued, I guess she might have had a taste of that. But then, in a court of law, you generally have at least one friend in the room. I and that little boy know how it feels to have none, none at all, anywhere within earshot.
