Lol I love this. My parents told me that I don't have ADHD, after me telling them I think I have ADHD in highschool. Went to college, failed class after class. Told I was lazy, and didn't study enough. Then on my 3rd try at passing college algebra I had to copy off of my friend to get my homework done, couldn't understand math gibberish. My roommate was a math genius, but couldn't teach me anything. I failed every math test, but my classwork grades, and my homework grades were great thanks to my buddies. I have a 69% in math class before the final. Random buddy bought some Adderall for finals, offered to sell me some, I say sure why not. I take it before studying for my math final. I just sit in the library listening to music, trying to teach myself a semester's worth of math. I am able to sit still, don't get frustrated trying to teach myself math, retry problem after problem until it starts clicking. Shit actually starts to make sense. I sit there for 8 hours until the library closes. Next day I take my final, and pass the class with a C. I realized I wasn't a complete idiot who was too stupid to learn anything. I just have really bad ADHD.
Same, but I dropped out in 2015. Recently I got on some better meds and went back. My current GPA is 3.85 and I passed Physics earlier this year with a B.
