I can relate to the doodling and the not fitting in school!
I would simply draw as the teachers were talking and later, at home, I would remember almost everything they said and write it all down. The doodling had a multitude of topics but two stood out: I liked drawing a clock (to help pass the time) and, for some reason still unknown, the tip of a finger; nail and all. Both as much detailed as possible. To help pass that time, right? 😊
