I'm not going to answer directly, just a personal testemonial. Take it with grain of salt. I used to have almost all the best grades with literally no effort, all classes were boring because I'd usually read in advance things I was interrested in (have older siblings, so getting textbooks was easy), and the things I wasn't interrested in would be boring anyways, but I'd get good grades. Then at around age 12-13, I started developing what I know were signs of depression. School was still boring, but now it was also painful. Still fine until I was 15-16 and got into a situation where I lived with my brother that was never home, I did most of the things myself. Depression got much much worse and school even more painful, I couldn't take it. I didn't even bother writing tests as my head hurt so much and couldn't care less about it at the time, sometimes if it was last class in the day, I'd just sign the test and hand it in empty. Later I started to skip school in general. Moved to different country where the process repeated, but much faster. Great grades at first, then I break and skip school. Dropped out, thought if I got a job it would be better. Got a job as a barkewper. It was better...for a while. In the span of 6 months, they wanted to promote me to manager and give me full control of bar/what drinks we serve etc (it was a well known restaurant). Things started to get worse, headaches were back, depression was back. Couldn't take it anymore, started to skip work. They actually wanted to keep me, but I couldn't do it, I quit. Not saying I'm smart or anything (I do pick up things very quickly and many call me smart so Idk), just that there are many reasons why you could have bad grades. Now I'm learning that I most probably have autism as well and that depression (also anxiety, tested for those two) was a comorbidity. And I know I will never be able to have a career.
