And about my abilities? I survived a lot of shite as a child. I scored IQ 69 in a recent test. I just been put in a position that I think my abilities are worser than they are? Does it sound like this here?

You sound like you have very good abilities as you are able to ask your question on here. I hope you can begin to believe in yourself.

labels are just labels. They help with some things like accessing support but they shouldn’t define you. Forget the label when you don’t need it and live your life to the full.
