The "Why didn't my teachers see anything" I relate to - I remember in certain classes it must have been obvious, at one point I remember telling a foreign language teacher that "I physically cannot remember these words" and they put it down to me not trying hard enough and gave me detention. Why didn't they ever question that maybe it's not down to the individual's effort. I fear that this probably still goes on today. Since leaving school I have worked with teachers and I obviously can't speak for them all but considering they are meant to be smart and teaching the next generation... some of them are pretty dumb. I love the "a learned quality from someone else" part... relatable. It's good you have Mr Blue to be your rock
Yesss, they act like you aren't paying attention. I remember being fully engaged in class, really into a subject, and then 5 minutes later could not tell you what I learned. That's a tough one to live with. Do you know how interesting I'd be if I were able to remember everything I learned? lol If only... I'm hoping that teachers are starting to be more aware of neurodivergency the more people get diagnosed/self-diagnose and share their stories. Definitely unweaving the parts that I've learned from others. Luckily, I've been embracing my weirdo self throughout my 20's up until now but I know I can work on some things. Very glad to have Blue as well. I know I talk in the video about not wanting to bombard others with information, but he's bombarded quite a bit and a great listener. I just have an endless amount of things to say lol. Thanks for watching dude
@@KirtysCuriosities I know right! My grandad would often tell me these really interesting facts and then 15 minuets later he would ask me what the fact was and I couldn't remember even though I wanted to and thought it was interesting! I'm only realised within the last few months so I think at 25 I need to start embracing myself a bit...
