I'm so glad that you were finally able to get the answers you knew all along. All the hugs. I kind of had the opposite problem growing up. My dad knew from pre-k that I had some kind of Learning Disablity. Because I was young, no one told me anything. I didn't start figuring it out till I got constantly bullied by the other kids. But I never felt disabled, I went out of my way to jump through multiple hoops or road blocks that were set up because my dad and the school board said I "couldn't do X because of Y" so I ended up being stubborn and going out of my way to do those things. Which included getting out of special education into all regular classes, and I even got into an Honors english and would later go to publish my own book. I know for sure, I'm def not the smartest person out there, but I know I'm not stupid and that was such a huge relief for me. Thank you April for sharing your story with us.
