#listen finn was a better teacher in ONE episode than shoe in all six seasons

i remain eternally confused as to how glee is fundamentally terrible on just about every level, but when they actually try when it comes to neurodivergency and mental illness, they actually get it.

“my whole life, it’s been ‘ryder just needs to apply himself.’ ‘ryder’s smart, he just needs to work harder.’ ‘focus.’ ‘get it together.’ ‘man up.’ but inside, man, i knew they were all wrong. it didn’t matter how hard i focused or how hard i worked, i was stupid.” that just. kills me?? so much?? i mean he’s dyslexic but like. hello, my childhood, how are you doing.

and then of course: “the only secret is that your brain works a little differently than anybody else’s.” always gets me

like, thanks for making me cry again!!!
