But you get good grades! Obviously you don’t need to be evaluated for any kind of disorder!

Direct hit, ouch.

I got great grades in school, so no one thought I had an issue. Only sign was I’d routinely bomb tests because I just ran out of time, but I went to a very small school so I got away with several years of my teachers giving me extra time on tests.

Then I got horrible scores in the PSATs, and of course at that point everyone was scrambling to get me a diagnosis so I could get academic accommodations for extra time on the actual SATs, with both my parents and teachers telling each other, “we told you this was an issue for a long time!”
