I Grew Up With Undiagnosed ADHD And ASD. The Adults In My Life (not Naming Names For Privacy) Didn't

I grew up with undiagnosed ADHD and ASD. The adults in my life (not naming names for privacy) didn't want to admit that I was neurodivergent due to the stigma. I had issues at the time to put it lightly, and I was only diagnosed as an adult. At school a teacher of mine put me in the special needs class with no permission from my parents (which is illegal in my state). My parents were livid and had me pulled from the school. In my experience there, as a little 3rd grader, I was treated like a toddler. I was a normal kid, I was just prone to outbursts and I struggled in class. They strait up babied us and gave us looooong condescending talks about not getting upset at people and being quiet. Years later I expressed my distaste for how crappy special needs education is, and an ex-friend thought I was horrible for it. This is because they thought special needs students = little dumb babies that don't know what they are doing. we are not friends anymore obviously.

point is: ITS ALREADY HARD BEING NERODIVERGENT EVEN AS AN ADULT, and our education system is NOT preparing them for the real world. All the special needs class does is to shut the poor kids involved up so they are "not in anyone's way". They don't actually teach you how to cope with your outbursts in a constructive way, they just want you to shut up so the "smart" kids can learn. I am lucky that I got help as an adult for my ADHD and ASD, but most people are not so lucky. It disgusts me.

as someone officially diagnosed with autism YOU DO NOT WANNA BE DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE YOU READ A BOOK ABOUT FROGS AND PLAY WITH TOYS AS PART OF YOUR ASSESSMENT THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
