Insert horrified looks when I tell me friends some "funny stories" from my childhood. :D

"Pug, you're an incredibly smart kid, but you're lazy."

Me, unable to remember homework, but acing every test and going above-and-beyond on any project with freeform requirements, leading to solid Bs and Cs despite half my assignments being a flat 0 for not being turned in: "Yeah."

... kind of wish someone looked a little deeper into the issue at the time.

I got this but my parents did know I had ADHD. My mom didn't want to put me on mods though, so I mostly just got weird stuff done to manage it. Like making me sit in the bathroom with no distractions, not allowed to leave until homework was done, among other things.

ADHD still affects me in the workplace, but I'm fortunately in a position where it's not too detrimental and my bosses both like me and understand my challenges.
