I'm in the same boat, and for me personally no, in uni I learnt to do as minimal of a job as possible to "pass" the arbitrary goals set by uncaring world. I had to unlearn all of that very quickly when I got my first real job that I actually like. My uni broke me, for sure, and I'm lucky I fixed a little bit of that decades later.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Would you say that your experience was typical or was it especially bad for you (as in not designed for your needs) while other people were better off?
Not the best university at the time, in not the best country, so I'm not unique in that. Teaching practices were literally the opposite of what scientifically recommended. But on top of that, neuro diversity wasn't as normal back then, so not only I wasn't diagnosed, but I had to mask as hard as possible, which didn't help at all.
Only very specific type of people thrived in that environment, everyone else coped, some more successfully that others.
