    Sometimes I feel like the educational system has just failed me (or mentally disabled people like me) because the system is cookie cutter and most often, I fell behind because If I didn't understand something, none of my teachers were really willing to help me catch up.

      I'm really sorry to hear that. It always makes me sad when someone feels that their school system has failed them. It's the one thing in life that everyone deserves a fair crack at, and sadly not everyone gets it.

      Is there anything that you can do about it now? Are you still at school or have you finished? There's usually adult education routes available for those who are willing, but it isn't easy.

        I graduated college last may. I have a job currently within the field I majored in. I am super thankful that I didnt fuck it up along the way... I am what they classify as a “high functioning autistic person” it really just takes my brain twice as long to comprehend certain subjects like math or english

        College was actually easier than any of the classes I had in high school.
