  > IME you can't be "taught" how to take effective notes any more than you were "taught" to walk or function in society. You just figure it out after a while.
You're old. So am I.

Nowadays parents get their children diagnosed "on the spectrum", this both excuses the lack of ability to function in society and also provides benefits. Nobody is expected to figure it out any more, in fact in some circles it seems fashionable to either be "on the spectrum" or to have a child "on the spectrum".

What a disgusting comment.
The comment reflects reality, which I agree is disgusting.
Ask a benign question about note-taking and recieve a "kids these days", "back in my day", "everyone wants to be a victim" bullshit. The discourse on this site is certainly lacking.
You're right. I really went off in the wrong direction with that, when I see other people doing that I call them trolls. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, I must be becoming some jaded old man!
