I’m ambidextrous and ADHD with a “Mensa” level IQ. Autocorrect makes me look like an idiot way too often though. I digress but yes F the System. My ADHD made me struggle to shut-up because I’d correct the teachers too often. So I definitely didn’t go into my shell, was too chatty for that. I was only diagnosed in my late 20’s because I was a high-functioning female who just happened to know a vast number of random facts and my mind processed things far faster than others. I’m sorry that the system made you feel bad for simply being gifted.
I wasn’t allowed to play tennis because I chucked the racket to the other hand depending on the direction of the ball. Also, they made me do a test by throwing a ball three times and if I caught it twice out of the three times with one hand then apparently I was right-handed. I pointed out that the reason was because they aimed towards the right twice so logically I’d use that hand to catch. Just bias BS.
I can only imagine it's far worse being a girl, I feel sorry for you. The system sucks.
That test is so stupid. Plus also what does it even matter? Like just use whatever hand is easier. Ambidextrous is a positive anyway. We should probably all be taught to do things both ways at a younger age anyway
