I’m really sorry, friend.
My stepmom suggested I might be autistic and my mom lost her mind. It took me years to arrive at the conclusion you have because there was such a sense of shame around it.
I hope your mom gets her head correct faster this time than when you came out as trans.
One of the worst things we do as a culture is setting arbitrary milestones and then shaming ourselves or others for missing them.
Are you expecting to graduate? You’re better off than many who didn’t finish at all. You stumbled, you’re moving forward. You’re going to be fine.
I’m not running for a third term, I’ll just have a third term.
The guy who lies all the time says something? Probably lying.
I’m not a lawyer or barrister, but there are already laws against fraud, which is what you are describing. There’s a huge difference between deliberately over claiming and making a mistake, and what the article is describing is at worst honest mistakes.

Pay me a lower middle class salary and I will drive your piece of shit electric truck.
Making every yard a vegetable garden may be impractical, not everyone has the time or inclination or know how to grow vegetables. There should be a native trees/shrubs/ground cover starter pack list for each US region with plant-and-ignore native plants to replace invasive grasses like st Augustine and Bermuda grass.
Reading this is like reading anti-drug propaganda from the 90’s. Like, sure there are concerns about young people, especially boys, getting radicalized online. But the coverage is so lurid and skewed that it loses credibility.
Cory Doctorow has made a pretty convincing argument that in your real specifically, all designs should be open source.
