[quote=Anonymous]I am sure some of my teachers would have thought I was a bad kid and they probably had good reason to think it. Neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD must have been known about, but I was never tested or identified. That might have been because my grades were good, yet I found it difficult to concentrate, easily distracted and was terrible with the concept of time management. I was always challenging teachers, questioning what they were saying, with a different view or reasoning.  I had a major issue with soiling my underwear, then denying it. That lasted almost all the way through school, so I guess I would have been a bad kid in some teacher’s opinion.

My brother and sister didn’t have any of those problems, and they just fitted in with average grades. That meant they didn’t seem to get noticed, unlike me that was always in trouble for something. Being removed from class or made to sit in the corner happened often, especially when I challenged a teacher.  My parents didn’t seem to know how to manage me and often showed their frustration. They believed I was soiling my underwear intentionally and regularly compared me to a “normal child” my age. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t be that “normal child” they wanted, which only made my situation worse.

That led me to believe I was that bad kid, and it wasn’t until I was midway through high school that a teacher realised what was going on. She decided to make it her challenge to help me and no matter how hard I rebelled she persisted. Changes were slow for me, but thanks to her I achieved them. [/quote]
