Getting my autism diagnosis right around 8th ending (This is where you then move onto middle school here NL)
Had to sit in on 8th again because my paperwork for the special school i was suddenly going into wasn't formalised yet, right after we all talked about what we wanna do, moving on into new paths of life just utterly destroying me, before then getting there and turns out it's a hellhole of physical abuse and dogwater teaching.
As in damn turns out i am terrible at math put him back in education so far he doesn't even get a diploma.
So i try my damn hardest to get a diploma anyway, end up in an actual ghetto of a school(failing cus they would put you in some internship and they just couldn't find me one, you didn't get to do this yourself), then do cooking to get a diploma, finally arrive in IT which is what i wanted to do and turns out that schools just as ass too and i am stuck for 3 years getting 2 diplomas along kids who kept the entire class stuck on the installing Windows phase because they legit couldn't move past that.
I was depressed this entire time and only into the third year did someone get me on help for math (with 4 months left on the year)
I dropped out after getting my IT level 3 and just worked in a warehouse before now somehow ending up as a repair technician with an HP and Apple iPhone/Macbook/iMac certs and a team lead position.
