"Pug, you're an incredibly smart kid, but you're lazy."
Me, unable to remember homework, but acing every test and going above-and-beyond on any project with freeform requirements, leading to solid Bs and Cs despite half my assignments being a flat 0 for not being turned in: "Yeah."
... kind of wish someone looked a little deeper into the issue at the time.
How'd that turn out? How'd college and/or employment go?
Poorly, on both. I took longer than normal to complete my degree's credits, and spiraling depression and anxiety closed off most of the 'usual' avenues of employment. I eventually managed to scrape out a living in a field which didn't require my degree. C'est la vie.
I feel like that's a common outcome, unfortunately.
Damn. We are so similar. At 50 and having my kids diagnosed I am finally realizing why.
