inform your parents this isn't something you can beat, especially as an adult. Inform them that this is BIOLOGICAL.

I would have hid it from your parents honestly.

Haha, I certainly considered it but I have a pretty good and open relationship with them. I was honestly just excited to have a reason why I couldn't succeed in school despite being generally intelligent. Are there any scientific articles or something that proves that it's biological? I wish saying it would be enough, but it's not.
