iceplant comments on AMA: I was unschooled for most of my childhood, then voluntarily chose to leave to go to a large public high school.

I honestly don’t know. I’m inclined to think there’s a strong genetic component since almost all of my genetic first cousins have some level of clinical anxiety/​depression/​adhd traits. Possible the unschooling/​family dynamic played a role too, but it’s hard to tell.
