I felt "stupid" in school because I struggled with auditory processing. I learn quickly but not by listening to an instructor standing at the front of the class lecturing about a boring subject. I learn by doing and reading books.
I remember a class in grade nine that made me wonder about my intelligence. The teacher told the class some riddles that we had to try to answer. I did not solve a single one because I could not understand what she was saying. Everyone else seemed to solve them. I left that class feeling very low.
High school was so boring and nearly pointless. University was very different. My grades went up 20%.
I found ways to work around my limitations such as recording lectures and comparing notes with other classmates.
I also have ASD.
