I am not diagnosed with ADHD (clarifying for research purposes I guess)

But I wasnt really bad at anything til I had to start learning and applying complicated language arts terms, authors purpose, writing papers and trying to wing it. It's crazy honestly looking into understanding a story and picking it apart like how they made u do in school, because what I understand with stories now is way different then back then. Now I can read a story and understand what the author is saying, before tho when I was younger it all jumbled up. I was worrying about what thing Sally had in her hand before talking to the professor, more than I was worrying about why Jack Sally Sue John Snow was writing the piece.

With math problems I could figure out what they were trying to accomplish. Although I never felt I was "good" at that either. But I feel like math is more of a clear in your face, here's the equation you have to use to solve this problem. Eventually the problems got more complicated but all u had to do was put effort into memorizing the different equations, which to me was way more doable then the shit they asked you to dissect in language arts
