Former Gifted Child

:doomer:
"What are you supposed to be?"
Probably diagnosed with ADHD, but my parents never bothered 
I've been recently diagnosed as an adult and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I like to joke that the ADHD diagnosis process with Kaiser Permanente is set up so that if you actually complete it, it's proof that you don't have ADHD.
I also want to say I was saying this before Gianmarco Soresi started doing an almost identical joke.
"Neurotypical" sociopaths shape the world to make everyone suffer but especially ND, disabled, queer, and trans people.
CW: Ableism
Fascist policy toward disabled people is to sort them into those who are useful to the capitalist machine and those who aren't, and kill those in the latter category. Liberal policy toward the disabled is the same, except they use social murder instead of bullets and gas chambers.
Damn, imagine being all of those things. Sure wouldn't want to
Hello from the same boat 
I've been trying, but despite having a public health system that in theory supports mental health, the cost is at least $5000 for a diagnosis and likely closer to $10000. So no point I guess.
A lot of those 'gifted child' memes have the same energy of 'I'm an empath' to be.
Then again, I was always more of a C student.
i was in the gifted program and i felt like all it did was make people more pretentious.
I was in the gifted program and I felt like all it did was separate us from the 'normal' children so we'd be less annoying to the teachers.
I was in a similar program and the way it was implemented meant that my records had a special mark, and they kept trying to put me in remedial classes because the same mark was used for people with learning disabilities.
Also this lol
The "I'm an empath" thing always comes from some of the most annoying, self absorbed people.
i saw a tiktok that said the gifted program was run by three letter angencies to scout talent. especially from kids in under performing schools where they stand a chance to be turned against the government and indoctrinate those kids to liberalism.
I was a "gifted child" then went to university and turns out I was not really that special lol. Grade fetishism in school leads to fuckers like me thinking they are hot shit when we're pretty mediocre. I even hit a hard wall with math, which was the subject I thought I was a genius in.
That said, I never had delusions about becoming something great, I always disliked responsibility and preferred to chill, and I kinda got there in the end
We sound like the same person, haha
They said I could be anything, so I became an anarchist.
