"I was educated montesorri until middle school, and while there was plenty of socializing it was ultimately detrimental imo." So, you went from what I describe as a reasonable environment, where you did OK, to what I describe as a pathological environment where suddenly you had a lot of trouble, and apparently mostly (but not entirely) recovered when back out in a more reasonable environment. This is basically what I would predict with my theory. You were damaged by entry into a pathological environment. How would you be if you had never been exposed to it? How much more damaged are those who never knew anything else? I don't think your experienced is evidence against my point... it's evidence for.
