Yeah i just coasted on acing all my tests and quizzes, but i never studied and rarely did any homework. I paid attention in all my classes and loved learning, i just didn't see the need to do anything once i got home. I think part of the issue was moving around so much growing up, so schools never put me in advanced classes, except for math where i would fail because it was the first time i had to actually work to pass a class. I even had 4 semesters on the Deans list when i wentt to college, but i hit a wall and couldn't do anything outside of class so i had to drop out.
I often put my head down and just listen during the boring classes, which would allow me to do well on tests for the most part. When it came to homework though I rarely did it, and if I did, it was at the very last minute to get the dopamine hit I didn't know about or understand was the reason.
In NY this led me to pass regents exams with higher averages than the classes, and in science to pass the regents but fail the class, forcing me to retake just the lab part. For round 2 I was with another kid who did the same thing (probably also undiagnosed), so we pooled our passing exams and figured out how many we needed for the D to get credit and move on.
