Pretty similar background here. Maybe successfully homeschooled adults are just hesitant to dive into this sort of discussion anecdote first?

Given the stigma that many people still associate, we probably learned not to talk about it, maybe even subconsciously.

Agreed: generally speaking, diving into any discussion anecdote-first is unhelpful and should be avoided.

It's a pity that some people will take a collection of anecdotes as data and treat a lack of countering anecdotes as conclusive proof.
