i keep seeing "gifted kid" dunks that remind me of "you people cant do anything" so ill just say more often than not the "gifted kid" mentioned is mostly talking about the phenomenon of neurodivergent kids who ended up relatively academically successful thanks to good teachers, comfort of planned schedules of days, testing and grading thats consistent thru elementary to highschool completely tanking in/post college and having extreme adjustment issues, long periods of "failure" its not about getting an A+ in third grade once, like all internet viral topics im sure people started applying it to everything but it was an exclusively neurodivergent thing

#mypost #neurodivergent #rant #like i was a top 1% student in the entire country. then i proceeded to not pass a single class in the first 2 years of college #i never even made a former gifted kid post but i get it so bad because i wavered soooo hard #i was a top student in 7th and 8th. tasted mediocre grades in 9th. i was an honor student at 10th and then below mediocre grades in 11th 12 #and then i got into 1 percent college #like i did that cycle twice i was gifted formerly gifted gifted and then formerly gifted again
