I wasn't a gifted kid by any stretch of the imagination, but I've definitely encountered people like this in real life as it relates to autism.

Whew! Us scheming neurodivergents sure had it easy amirite?

Good to see this shit gets taken down quickly.

I let my curiosity get the better of me. Not looking at the removed comments next time.

    gifted label just meant you learned to read like a year early.

    Which is also an early indicator of autism. Could there be consequences to funneling autistic children into a high pressure environment?

      It's literally a selector for autism and kids with rich parents. I think the idea to make it high pressure is intentional, because the poor autistic kids wash out from the stress leaving only the rich kids.

      Gotta make everything look like a meritocracy.
