For people who are in or where in special education, Why where you there? What was it like? How did you do later in life? And did it have any effect as a adult?

Im 18 and have been in special ed just about my entire life. Almost the entire time I was treated like someone with no future, I was constantly thrown with a bunch of special ed kids with completely different needs. Nearly every time I have complained about it I was called ablist (specifically by neurotypicals).
