Being in special Ed was wild man. I remember during an especially stressful year, the principal let me bring my damn Xbox 360 to school and during lunch I got to play it alone in the office. granted it was school appropriate games but I thought it was awesome at the time. Then when I read my documents from that time, their writings describe me like I was some sort of ticking time bomb they were delaying the explosion of. They legit thought without their intervention I would be a serial killer or something.

@MeatMench Thats crazy for me they just said "hes really intelligent but he doesn't apply himself" year after year after year after year. Never once thought that maybe I CANT fucking "apply myself" in the way they want me to

@HTGJava @MeatMench I always got the "very smart but lazy" comment from every teacher when my mom went to parent teacher meetings anyways I apparently have adhd

@HTGJava @MeatMench same thing happened to me in middle school and with my parents

@HTGJava @MeatMench Completing homework and projects was so hard. Now I'm an adult and there's literally no homework? I make long-term plans and meet self appointed deadlines without issue, all that distress during school was for nothing.
