I hear you. If I was a kid now I would be labelled autistic. As a kid I was just different. Had to learn somethings my way. It works up until now! Nice to hear that you met all the challenges.

You should have heard the words my mechanic dad had to say to my 2nd grade teacher when she made that statement.
That boy has been tearing down carburetors distributers starters and generators since he was wearing diapers, and rebuilding them since he was 4, so the only person in this conversation who may be stupid is you teacher. Of course him being a retired Marine gunny he had many more eloquent words in his tirade.
I had the same teacher for half of my 5th grade year as well. She was different, and by then I had adapted very well to my condition I had become a voracious reader but couldn't be bothered with the elementary school library I would make the 100 yard walk to the middle & high school library to check out books instead.

Exhausted the library. Me to by Grade four. We had three schools in my tiny town. K-3, 4-6 and 7-12. Each library became redundant to me rather rapidly. I discovered inter library loans. I was pulling in books from universities all over Canada. Moved outside Ottawa Ontario. There is a very large technical library at the national research council. I learned. And still am learning. The more I learn, the more questions I have!

I can full well relate to exhausting the libraries at school. our school was only 2 buildings no such thing as K back then in my area it was 1st through 6 with 7&8 being middle even had graduations for 8th grade. then high school. I took over instructing shop for the coach while I was still in middle school Our coach was about as mechanically inclined as a certain 29 year bar maid from NYC.
total student population 1-12 was less than 350
