that convinces me that you are the victim of discrimination. Sure, you may have encountered some tough customers in your placements. Ok. What do you think you will encounter day by day, year by year in education?

The training level is about you learning from others who do the job. Sometimes those lessons are hard but it is important that you consider any and all points of view whether you have Asperger's or not. The job of the mentoring teacher is to highlight strengths and limitations that you present at the time of training. Sounds like you heard some tuff' stuff and while the delivery may not have been appropriate, if you feel that you need "protection" then you are likely to continue to feel frustrated. Unfortunately, in or out of education, people choose their words poorly.
