Academic Privilege - Is the Public Education System Destroying NeuroDivergent People?

Education is a big one. It's a big topic.  It's something that is painful for many NeuroDivergent People, Autistic People. 

 That is because the school systems are designed and tailored to teach one style of learner and one type of teaching.  Those of us who learn, and experience, and process information differently are often treated as if we are problems, when we fail to fit into the neuro-typical education system. 
As a young person, the school treated me like I was a problem and I felt like I was inferior.

By the time I left school, at the age of 18, there was no way I was going to continue on to higher education and university.

Remember, I was an undiagnosed Autistic, multiply NeuroDivergent adult - I have ADHD as well. 

I went through my entire elementary school, middle school, and high school, and some of my work life not knowing I was NeuroDivergent.  

Having no accommodations in place to help me with my learning, I believed that I was a complete failure, incapable of learning, the biggest garbage human in the world - by the time I left school - because of being told I was wrong, and inferior, and just barely making it through my classes, being unaccommodated.
