"Pug, you're an incredibly smart kid, but you're lazy."

Me, unable to remember homework, but acing every test and going above-and-beyond on any project with freeform requirements, leading to solid Bs and Cs despite half my assignments being a flat 0 for not being turned in: "Yeah."

... kind of wish someone looked a little deeper into the issue at the time.

Growing up neurodivergent in the 80s and not being disruptive enough to demand said deeper look may lead to:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Internalization of negative self-worth
  • Avoidance of formal higher education
  • Early burnout
  • Lifelong vague dissatisfaction
  • Disillusionment with the world and its systems
  • Being terminally online searching frantically for the next dopamine hit
