And it was a basic dyslexia type symptoms, even though the word dyslexia
wasn't used.
And I remember that term learning disability being thrown around a little bit.
And it was so profoundly disorienting, because my favorite thing to do in the world was to learn.
And, you know, when I took the via, the strength finder, I remember when it came out, like 10 years ago, the positive psychology movement, my number one
character strength was lovable learning.
And I always was super curious and I loved learning.
And so the term learning disability was one that I felt a lot of shame around.
It didn't seem to resonate.
It was clear that I wasn't doing well in school.
It was clear that I couldn't stay afloat and I was failing classes.
And that led to a lot of resentment and behavioral issues and snarkiness and avoidance.
And I was always hiding in bathrooms or
trying to get lost in the halls and stay out of class as much as possible.
