I didn't say they did or didn't have anything in particular. Normal people don't get fired, or quit to avoid getting fired, from every job they have. You have some kind of problem if you are experiencing that. It is not necessarily a "disorder," but there is clearly some mismatch between what you want for yourself and what you are able to actually do, a mismatch that is apparently not about lack of innate intelligence but something else. That is exactly the kind of thing a mental health professional is there for.

I stand by that. Someone suggesting that to me is what finally got me help.
