As the title asks!.....its not a veiled pop at intelligence...but ive never excelled, in part, due to a very late diagnosis(at least,thats what im telling myself)....but of course, i am quite good at some things....but its not of any note...(please dont ask me, i wont want to divulge as its all pretty rudimentary stuff, and serves to remind me how limited my life really has been..
Im not looking for any bolstering platitudes and im not licking wounds or being self pitying....
Im Genuinely, curious if theres anyone else out there ,that isnt academically successful?
I never went to university or college after school, although I did stay on in Sixth Form to do A-levels which didn't go particularly well.
I never wanted to go away to uni, it always seemed like too big of a step for me. I've applied for several college and university courses over the years since, but I've always either dropped out early on or just not started at all.
I don't have a diagnosis at the moment, but I do wonder if having known earlier or having some relevant support might have made my education different.
People do occasionally comment that they don't believe I didn't go to uni because apparently I seem smart enough to have been.
