The whole sentence pretty much describes me perfectly but it was never picked up on. I'm 43 now and have only recently realised.
I just turned 42 and was only just diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type and ASD type 1 last year. The only way I got the idea to get diagnosed was because of my youtube algorithm ending up on videos that talked about neurodivergence, so one could say it was kind of by random chance. And because I might have slightly above average IQ or whatever, I was one of those that could do their homework 1 hour before bedtime the day before it needed handing in. Or when it came to math I'd just do it in the break as soon as we had gotten the homework in the breaks to avoid doing it at home.
