Were you assumed that you were intellectually disabled?
Just wanted to know but how many of you all was assumed by teachers, parents, that you were intellectually disabled? Like back then I was put in special ed classes mostly because I was not paying much attention and would just bunch of nonsensical sentences, mostly due to my very low flexibility with my thinking, like whenever I try to "read" books back then I'd mostly just simply look and stare at pictures without trying to apply or summarize it. I am honestly very mad and angry at myself how careless I was to the point it led to overplacement with education.
I really feel like I could've done so much.... go to university, college, etc. but sadly it feels too late now due to my poor ability to do things properly back then...
