Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
You are EatATaco, right?
Yes and I generally don't disagree with either of those points. Gifted people are much more likely to have things like ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, and so on. Even if this wasn't true being gifted still counts as special educational needs at the minimum if not neurodivergent. It's also true that society often treats neurodivergent people (even gifted ones) badly.
I am challenging you because you essentially did the following: my son is gifted and can't be neurodivergent because he is (proceeds to list a bunch of things that aren't actually incompatible with neurodivergence).
You can be liked by your peers and still be mistreated by society, those aren't mutually exclusive. Normally it's through things like school and work not being designed for neurodivergent people as much as it is about outright discrimination.
Do you get me?
Except I didn't say this. The other poster made the claim that gifted means neurodivergent, and the neurodivergent are rejected by society. I pointed out that my kid is gifted and socially very accepted, challenging either of their claims.
A fair disagreement, which certainly is also not true for my kid, but I think we might be wandering into pedantic territory, but either way I certainly did not say that my son can't be neurodivergent because he does well socially.
