This was me during my youth - quiet, polite and serene on the outside, white noise on the inside. Teachers couldn't work out why I excelled at some things and failed totally at others, they thought I was smart but not applying myself to my work. It took me til my 30s to get a diagnosis.

My partner got that on hers.

I got a mix of that and "a pleasure to have in class, but needs to work on not distracting others"

How I went 31 years with no raised eyebrows is funny to me, so many red flags attributed to being "quirky" or "eccentric".
