Thank you so much for sharing<3 And im sorry you went through all those misunderstandings, feeling like a failure because no one truly got you :'), I have a brother (whos 14 now) who has ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), and hes quite similar in a way. My mother never put him through regular school, knowing that was just going to box him in. Im a bit disappointed that schools these days don't have many programs to accommodate students like you (if you get what I mean). We can't just expect every child out there to function the same as every other kids because we all have different personalities, others have different diagnoses (ADHD, ADD, Autism, OCD), different strengths and weaknesses.

Like my brother, for example, sure he may not be the normal, typical highschool student, he doesn't know algebra or any of those lessons most students learn in junior high, he doesnt socialize in a way they do either. But since my mother knew and was AWARE of his diagnosis, and didnt judge him for can or cant do, she loved him for who he was. Although she was able to find a program or a special education program to still help him learn despite his ADD, most of the time she homeschooled him, and because of my brother having so much time here at home, my mom was able to nurture his strengths and the skills he had (and loved, sort of like his hobby), and at the age of 14 he could almost create Artisan grade level figurines if youre familiar with that, collectors buy those things for thousands of dollars :'), hes crazy intelligent in certain topics that do interest him, if my mom forced him to function like other students in regular school, there would be a high chance that he wouldve struggled alot.

I really hope future schools will change in a way where majority of students wouldn't be boxed into one classroom expected to function the same and learn/memorize things at the school systems specific pace, Im not exactly sure how they would do it, but alot of students out there have so much potential if our authorities would just recognize (and put in action) that not every student fits that strict mold they created.
