    Last time I tried I was told there was no way to have it if you did well in earlier school years :/

        Wait you’re telling me studying uninterruptedly for 15 hours a day with a focus that would make a jedi jealous for four weeks in a row and not being able to get yourself up to go to lectures the rest of the time isn’t the normal way how people graduate best in class?

      I think it’s fair to say that schoolwork just outpaces attention span and focus at some point. Many people do well in their first years, and the struggles often only manifest themselves when more and more subjects get added, each with higher workloads than before.

      Makes a lot of sense, but some people just cling to the but you did so well in elementary school thing

      You’re normally expected to have lifelong symptoms, but that doesn’t mean you had to do badly in school.

      You can constantly daydream, lose stuff and turn up late for everything and still ace tests, at least early on. It gets harder to get away with this later in life.
