Welcome to PC btw!!

no worries on the typos, i have quite a few myself lol.

are your parents willing to take you to a pdoc? (sorry they are comparing you to your sister) . if not, can you speak with your school conselour about this? we can give a proper diagnoses but we cant give you our thoughts and suggestions on it

two things come to mind.. both i have some experience with. there may be others but i dont know of them. ADD is one. and Autism is another. if you didnt have any developmental delays, Aspergers (which is very common that doesnt show up, or isnt recognized until later in life(approx teen into adulthood).
Have you ever been directed to the possible dia




ps. you really do sound extremely smart and wiser than that of a usual 13 year old. your language skills are great too

I have suspected that I had aspergers before, but I do fine with other kids, although I am a lone wolf and hate group activities. My school counselor might cover that, but I am bad at talking to people unless thy are my friend or it is online. You mentioned autism, which I may very well have. I don't even know how to clip my nails yet, and I throw a lot of meltdowns, but those are my only autism symptoms. However, as for add, I related to 4 out of 5 symptoms of innattentive ADHD. I am also very restless and was hyper when I was a young child but after 6 years of age I was just restless. I am also fairly impulsive.
Thanks for this!
