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".

[–] ButtholeSpiders@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Agreed 100%, being a specialist in something always has led to someone taking a pot shot at your deficiencies.

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Or being a jack of all trades and getting potshots for not being an expert in everything just because you pick up the basics quickly.

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!
