Did anyone else find school too easy? What would you do to challenge yourself? I would do projects on countries/inventors/planets. I would write stories at home and make lists of the most populous countries on earth or the countries with the most land mass.
Had a terrible time in school personally I wasn't bullied but I didn't have friends and I struggled a lot with school work. I am very clever and knowledgeable about a lot of things that are my special interests. But in school the way things were taught and the rules we had to follow... None of it made sense to me as to why I was being forced to do things I didn't want to do and because of that I just couldn't make my self learn what I had to learn and now as an adult I'm suffering the consequences of it.
That's is terrible that the teachers didn't see how brilliant you were. I was very lucky, I had parents who helped me every step and I had brilliant teachers. I hope you can reach your potential.
It's ok some teachers knew I was smart but I was and still am very good at masking even though I can't always help it and they didn't think anything was up with me in terms of autism I'm looking into doing a coding course in order to become a web developer, done a few free lessons it seems quite fun and interesting and easy too. seems like good career from all that I've researched there's always work and money in that field seems quite plentiful
