How hard is/was school for you? (teddit.net)

Academically hard (I blame ADHD), easy in socialization. I wish I just dropped out and got a GED instead; high school was such a waste of my time, even when I enjoyed social moments.

I will not be going to college; it's a waste of my time considering how much tech I already learned from the internet.

I still don't understand why so many people with ADHD or Autism still want to go to College; it is a system that encourages rote memory and only allows social students to succeed. It works against their neurodiversity.

Decent at tests; terrible at being in a classroom
