A funny thought: How were your report cards/grades? I never received a grade less than a B, mostly As, and two Fs which are kinda funny reasons. But turn the paper over? HA! "Disregards authority. Interrupts. Talks and moves constantly, asks and answers every question. Difficult.

My two F's? primary physics class. I liked physics but then Xaviera Hollander's "The Happy Hooker" became the obsession of that year. What can I say? Typing teacher and I did not like each other. I rebelled. Next class, I clocked a 120 no error wpm. Behavior? Still the same! You?

I was always that obnoxious student who sat up front and engaged constantly. "Sounds like ADHD" someone said in later years. May be, but I was hyperfocused, not deficient of attention. I wasn't doing it rudely. It's cultural and familial x love of learning. Not a disorder.

I still have pressured speech, and do this stuff. People think it's rude or if I'm talking how can I possibly listen? Clearly they did not grow up immigrant New Yorkers who all yell at once and still hear and see allThat's a cultural mannerism and skill, not clinical. Who agrees?

As for moving constantly, maybe I was hyperactive, who cares. And as for disregard for authority, they got that one wrong. I don't acknowledge authority as anything but that which is taken not earned, given at will. Different than respect, which I work much harder on 🙂

They were mainly A's and B's in high school. At my first stint at uni, I started with C's and went into A's and B's later on. I kept my head down and tried to be a good boy. I'm certain I failed on that score.

I'm assuming you failed at being a good boy. I wasn't considered good myself. Worse ;-) All college and my B.A. - 4.0 highest honors. I f'd up my MA with a second highest honor and 3.8 average. I rarely am uninterested in anything but law, insurance, money and fiduciary science
