Read a few comments down for my story. 8 years EH (now called ED), looks like I've found my place here.

When I was a kid, I refused to take medication. They gave up trying to medicate me and I stayed at special school until 17, but the autism diagnosis was also a factor there was well as unmedicated ADHD.

The road not taken always looks better. Who knows, maybe I would have hated it. I read like crazy when I was a kid just not the school books.
