As someone who has adhd even into adulthood i totally get where youre coming from. I wrote a parody of Janies got a gun, "jesus got a gun" and the lunch lady confiscated it, i was suspended for 2 days. Lol
I learned that adults treated you pretty unfairly, you watched a ton of movies, and your networking skills were pretty good for a kid. The lack of follow up on a lot of "I met this new person, got their number, they are cool!" really resonated with my childhood experiences of making fast friends and then absolutely failing to follow up or solidify those relationships into anything beyond circumstantial hangouts and fleeting bonds lost to time forever. I still think about that one girl I met on a beach vacation, who I taught pokemon cards to, who my parents informed me afterward had given me her address so I could keep in touch. I had never heard the word 'address' before, so I was vocally confused about why she would have left me a dress because I never wore dresses and I had no idea why she thought I would want one. My parents explained the difference and I was far too embarrassed over this faux pas that I just never wrote a letter, ever. On the flip side, I did once reconnect, in highschool, with a childhood crush who knew me because we went to the same elementary and I loaned her a book with my name written in the cover. She gave me back the book and we held hands in a corn maze and then didn't see each other again until college, where we briefly dated until things didn't really work out and now she's married to someone else. The whole experience felt like a surreal fiction of two people chancing into each other in a way that usually ends in a lovely way in stories but since this is real life I just kinda ended up with a pretty good buffalo chicken dip recipe and that's honestly a better outcome than I've come to expect from relationships.
The revelation that your grandpa did, in fact, throw you in front of a moving train was not one I was expecting Granted, it was only a train set and the throwing was more gifting you the toy but still
I hope this becomes a trend. I also discovered that we are pretty much the same age because of the dates in the books, when I figured you were older than that. Pretty cool.
I can heavily relate to this since I Grew up with ADHD as well, they just kept giving me Adderall to keep me quite, but thankfully my mom knew better so we would lie about me taking my "medicine" just so they wouldn't kick me out of Special ED Class
Oh old books from childhood. Those are my favorite to uncover. Back in middle school i used to be an avid reader and writer, who was very partial to shock imagery, plot diversions, and overall wackjob insanity when it came to my writing. I thought life was more interesting that way :p I wrote a story called "Swedish Jesus" in Seventh grade, and it was absolutely chock full of religious mockery, with our main character Swedish Jesus gathering an army of Swedes to face a final battle against devout christians (their leader being the dude who came to our school gymnasium to give a presentation about his book, which he claimed was not religious in any manner, and was lying.) This was about a month or two after the Parkland shooting in 2018. Unfortunately when I gave it to my friend he just left it on his desk, and our math teacher found it and reported me. My hyper-religious rich suburban golfer dude principal was certain this piece of stupid fiction I wrote was ONE OF THE WARNING SIGNS I would end up a school shooter (LOL), and so he sent me into his office to get nose to nose to me, and scream at the top of his lungs. Keep in myind, my unfortunate neurodivergent response to shock is laughter. I swear I didn't mean to laugh in his face. But I absolutely laughed in his face, whoopsies! That was his breaking point, and all the confirmation he needed to know that I was a threat to society. I had this in-school suspension where I was isolated from my classmates in this side office printer room area adjacent to the principals office, with constant eyes kept on me. Me being the sorta-innocent child I was spent that whole time reading cool books I had nabbed from the library. School shooter behavior, huh. Anyways the end of this tale is when he threatened to get a police warrant to search my house, as well as trying to get me expelled. This struck me with such unbridled fear that I ripped up and threw away a whole years worth of passion project stories I had written, and then my parents transferred me to the neighboring school, separating me from the peers I had grown up with. I loved my old rebellious self, but I'm pretty sure that was the catalyst for my persistent and chronic panic attacks ever since. Haha whoops!
sorry to hear about that but i can't say i'm shocked. creative kids (especially if they creatively mock religious ideas) just trigger some kind of response in certain people, it's really interesting. it's like they're upset that you're having such a good time being yourself and goofing around!
