I am good with knowing my deficiencies. What sucks is being told that they are my fault because I should be "smart enough to overcome them".

It's actually insane how many teachers and other education professionals waved me off with 'you're smart enough, just try harder' while I was obviously suicidally depressed and extremely dysfunctional. Having undiagnosed autism because I was a teenage girl in the '00s was fun.

Girls, undiagnosed autism, and suicidal tendencies? Name me a more iconic trio!
