I have APD but this is strikingly similar to my experience. When adults tell you that you aren't trying hard enough but you are trying VERY hard it kills your self esteem. It wasn't until my mid twenties that I realized I wasn't stupid just different. I was angry about it for a long time too but really I don't know what they could have done for me back then. I don't think anyone even knew about APD. It still makes me sad though that I really didn't get much of an education.
