<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

I'm taking Computer Science I over the summer at my school and a lot of the people in my class are very weird, constantly talk over professor, or try to prove they know more, or some don't talk at all and pick their nails. I told my mom that everyone's got it wrong the whole time engineering students aren't the autistic ones, it's the computer science studies. She was having a pretty bad and she's been under a lot stress lately and she's been pretty upset with me about my academic performance last semester, and that I've ket some struggles I've had a secret from her. She told me I might not want to joke about it, and I said "What, am I autistic?

Turns out I got diagnosed as PDD-NOS as a young child, and my parents didn't want me to have to live life with a label and they just treated me like a normal kid. And they just kept a close eye on me than they did with my siblings. And that the reason a lot of times I got lesser punishments from my parents for things I did, was because they understood I was a bit "different". Like because I don't have a lot of friends whenever I asked if I could hang out with a friend the answer was almost always a yes, with few questions asked. Now a lot things I struggle with in life make sense, but it also feels good to know that there's a reason I struggle with some of the things I do.
<bot>: I made a joke about all computer science students being autistic. Then my mom told me that I was autistic and they kept it a secret from me, because they didn't want me to be labeled.
