I was diagnosed with ADHD and started on medication at 12, but not really told anything about what it meant for me or how to deal with it, and when I was 18 -literally when my parents dropped me off at college- was told I was autistic

    I was in elementary school and my teachers were all like "Flakes is such a great student, he's so far ahead of everyone else which is amazing because he doesn't talk to anyone except for when he infodumps about video games or cartoons"

    Got into a fight in the eighth grade where I almost dislocated the school bully's jaw and got sent to the school psychologist

    Spent like five minutes with her, and lo and behold, I was autistic.
