2E means you re intellectually gifted as well as having some sort of neurodiversity aka ASD, ADHD, dyslexia etc. I am AUADHD myself and always been above average in academics. Most people seem to think I'm very capable of handling myself but I really struggle with day-to-day tasks. I am completely timeblind so rely on my outlook calendar and auditory reminders for events. I also have a hard time interacting around neurotypical people as I can't seem to relate to them. Small talk drives me crazy Joy. The feeling that I don't really belong makes me feel depressed and anxious. However, I know that I am actually in quite a decent place, have stable income and I have very supportive parents (can't say that for the rest of my family though!) I just want to feel less alone.

  • I am undiagnosed and diagnosis is not an option where I am from. What I know for sure is I have consistently got 98th percentile in matrices reasoning and fluid intelligence tests, like rapm tests. 

    But my academics is so bad that I have come to accept I am lazy and unmotivated and I don't value things, like my parents, the privileges I have, as they should be valued.

    I wish I had average scores in those but possess whatever that makes other people grind through things and actually do something instead of wondering "what's wrong with me".
