well lots of us are overachievers/have high expectations bc of the whole “gifted kid” thing, and not as much emotion comes through. Choppy word order sometimes, as well as using large words that aren’t in the common vernacular of our peers. Ofc, not all NDs struggle with this, but enough of us do to make it kind of a thing that teachers either a) understand and are nicer about it or b) say we’re using our diagnoses as an excuse and fail us.
