Really feeling myself seen in this. I didn't get diagnosed until this year and I'm 41. I did texts just like you and I excelled at school until college hit me like a brick wall. Puzzling through tests got a lot harder when you have to write answers that demonstrate your knowledge of the material I never read. I would procrastinate so hard that I would set an alarm for 3AM the day a paper was due at 9AM and write it in those six hours.

BUT, that skill of working through tests like a puzzle is a good one to have. I've never heard it put that way but you're exactly right in calling it like that.

Right now there's no regular work in my job, but you can go online and take classes from the parent company and get paid. I picked one that I will literally never have to know anything about, which was estimated at 8 hours. I skimmed the material for half an hour then puzzled through the four tests in half an hour. One hour for eight hours pay. Yeah I can do that.

Heh, one of the other things I've gotten really good at since I was a kid is describing what it's like in my mind.

One of the best ones recently was a spiderweb. Every thought is connected to every other thought. Even on my meds, I'm capable of connecting extremely dissimilar things - the ocean and blueberries are linked because of the color blue. The difference is on my meds I can choose the strand of the web to follow, rather than diverge from talking about the ocean to talking about fruits.
