I had a guy in my class. We shared a first name and middle name. If he was going to school today he would have had a IEP. My high school guidance counselor who also created the class schedules was in a feud with my parents about some trivial thing. She knew but didn't care she swapped my almost by name doppelgangers schedules. Poor dude got stuck in advanced classes and they stuck me in the the regular classes. I didn't say anything since I hated the advanced classes. I had straight A's for the first time in my life. Unfortunately at around five weeks in they decided to swap us since my parents found out and of course the teachers knew it was a 'mistake'. I told them I wanted to stay in the regular classes but of course that simply wasn't possible. I could have had a high grade point in high school but since they insisted I had to be in the advanced classes where maintained a B to C grade in everything except computer science and physics. I know why I sucked in all the other classes today but back then I had that 'keen awareness of my own deficiencies'. My parents were so busy having their childish feuds that they refused to get me help for my problems.

I wonder how many of those who would fall in the blue area represented here have some form of Executive Dysfunction or as in my case additional issues?
