For people who are in or where in special education, Why where you there? What was it like? How did you do later in life? And did it have any effect as a adult?

Honestly it ruined my life in significant, permanent ways. The social ostracization that happens by being in different settings, prevented me from learning a lot of basic socialization skills until my 20s.
I’ve struggled my whole life to ‘catch up’ to people my age, so many of my friends are not in my exact age bracket, instead being in mid to late twenties instead of forties and most are surprised to find I’m as old as I am because I don’t look or act it.
It took me three decades to get out of poverty and have my first career job.
0/10 would not recommend.
