Part of me realizes that I got lucky, because my parents are also both neurodivergent, so they at least understood and were sympathetic towards me when I struggled with school growing up
They obviously had their own faults with my upbringing, but at least my autism and adhd was never really a problem in their eyes and they looked for a lot of resources for me
Like I’ve been diagnosed with adhd since I was 5 or 6, so from a young age at least I got help for it. I’m lucky that for the most part I can mask them, besides in school environments
It’s just weird thinking back on this stuff. I always feel weak because stuff outside of schooling is really easy for me, but I just. cannot conceptualize school in an effective way. It just doesn’t click in my brain
It makes me feel like I’m faking it or I’m weak. My autism absolutely affects me more, but it’s manageable. With my adhd it doesn’t affect me unless it’s school-style learning, and then I just. can’t function. Like I’m an adult who pays bill, yet I can’t focus on words
I don’t know where I’m going with this thread dhsbsbbebf
