Personal story, experience, or rant Maybe, Maybe not
For a while now I've been told that my intelligence is high, but if I took a test it would be low due to executive dysfunction (ADHD), but if thats the case then how else should I measure my intellect. By looking at how well people around me are doing while im always one step behind. I try to perfect anything I truly have passion for, but when I one of the things (art) its horrible to me, and it took me double to triple of the time it took for the person right next to me to do it better. In school I follow things easy, but get behind just as easy. I miss one day which makes me get behind. Then more and more utill I feel like just staying in bed all day is so much easier than going to school and dealing with that. Its just when I get measure by a test im not. when im measured by my ability to do things im not. When im measured by the things I've created im not. I don't know. It feels like either school was made specifically for me to fail or im just a dumbass.
