The first time I saw the guy I'm seeing he told me I'd have gotten help if I had caused problems. But apparently teachers appreciate kids who don't talk much. He has experience with autistics and learning disabilities.
One of the biggest regrets I have is that I was accepted into this alternative school (not for delinquents) for kids of all backgrounds who don't do well in regular school for various reasons. It was small classes for individualized teaching in classrooms but also in a sort of home like setting with a kitchen that looked like a home kitchen and they cooked lunches for you. You may have helped out too, can't remember. And couches in a living room or "main area" possibly with games. It was a lot more low key, small school with a lot less kids.
I almost got accepted into a school that was supposed to be better for me, but my father refused to allow it. So I got to struggle through middle and high school.
More generally: I wonder if I could call this an unofficial diagnosis.
