Thanks for sharingSylvia F.. Being neuro-divergent is harsh.
I cannot say anything about dyslexia. I cannot understand how you struggle. As I don't have it.
But I will try to empathize. In a way I can relate.
Here it is: People often assume something is wrong with you. And over time, you start believing it.
I have ADHD. I have always been told to "be disciplined". Or to stop being lazy. Which sucks because I have to put a lot of effort just to keep me from being distracted.
The internet can be a very hostile place for me. As much of everything is made for the explicit purpose of grabbing the attention. I remember having anxiety attacks during grad school. Because I couldn't spend time looking for academic papers without somehow ending up on YouTube. Even my therapist told me that it was an "addiction".
School can be hostile as well. You have to sit for hours. You don't get any feedback. And you are expected to somehow remember a bunch of facts you weren't able to pay attention to. No matter how hard you try. And if you don't, then you are lazy and irresponsible.
But there is nothing wrong with you! <- I just wanted to let you know :D
On the other hand. Not everything is tiny-violin-worthy stories. There are some perks that come with the whole package. (sorry for sharing such a wordy article)
