I am Neurodivergent. I have always really loved school– so much so that I often unintentionally interrupt and talk over others because I'm so excited. I try my best to be a good listener, slow down, and allow others to speak, but it is a challenge for me sometimes.

Whenever I have been reprimanded in the past (often sarcastically, like Rick Lavoie mentioned in the video), I have often just stopped engaging in class altogether. Why should I participate if I feel shameful about how I interact with my classmates?

Have you ever been in a classroom and felt anxious about performing 'correctly' in front of your instructors and fellow classmates? by
