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?

I was there because of multiple learning disabilities. I was smarter than most kids my age is the funny part. I just sucked at learning the way they taught us. My whole life people told me I'm smart but I never believed them until recently. I'm at the part of my life where I feel trapped now, partly because everyday I go to work with people dumber than sacks of shit and it takes a toll on me mentally. I'm told things get better.
