I feel like part of autistic infighting is that the term encompasses such a huge range of disability, symptoms, and experiences that advocacy often struggles to be inclusive without becoming so unspecific it's toothless. On one hand high vs low functioning is a false dichotomy, on the other hand someone who was has severe difficulty communicating and motor disabilities has obviously had very different experiences from someone who found out later in life and can mask

gifted kid/special ed kid discourse on this site is really funny to me because i was both. i skipped kindergarten because i was hyperlexic and then sucked really bad at everything else and also had really catastrophic motivation issues so i got held back in eighth grade and just went back to normal

I firmly believe that the antagonism between former gifted kids and former SpEd kids represents a false dichotomy because both groups were failed by the same system but ALSO SpEd kids often face systematic abuse, mistreatment and harm that gifted kids do not face in the same way.

Both of these things can be true.

everybody who went to a private catholic school name the craziest personal belief an instructor lectured the class on.

i'll go first: mentally disabled people are free of original sin, just like animals, so they get a free pass to heaven

just got slammed with a memory from a few days ago where i had the most gender euphoric experience which could have been offensive but made me so happy for literally no reason

[yardsards]

thinking about the fact that i was so socially awkward as a teen that the school wanted to me out of class to attend "social skills classes" once a week (to which i attended one and demanded i be removed from the program cuz it was just me and about a dozen equally uncomfortable probably-autistic kids who also probably did not want to be there, being forced to do icebreaker activities by deeply condescending special education teachers)

how did i not receive an autism diagnosis til i was nearly an adult and specifically advocated for myself to be taken to a professional to get checked out for autism and adhd???

I think when I draw Ian I'm gonna merge how his sprite looks with his official artworks by giving him long hair that's half dyed and has the black roots grown out and I'm gonna give him longish stubble. And his lazy eye of course

very upset right now am really really struggle with english class

tried to being up issues to counselor and she started to help but then brought someone else to help but that person made it worse make it seem like the problem is my fault like just because I'm stupid

if can't even do grade level english what am I supposed to do? there is no other class I can take to get the credit, no adaptive class apparently (I dont belive that), they cant switch teacher either apparently

my accommodations are not enough and the problem is not me or my lack of anything

school does not want to help I dont know what to do

When I use the term “burnt out gifted kid” for myself I just want it to be known that I’m referring to basically every year since seventh grade. Like it’s not something that hit me in adulthood or high school, I’ve been in a constant pattern of minor academic success and subsequent burnout leading to failure and just scraping by to make it to the next year. I’m good at one thing and that’s testing, so the minute that homework became a major factor in grades I was fucked. Every bit of disability I experience now was happening then I was just so dissociative it didn’t register for years. By burnt out I mean I’m trying to grow out of the ashes of myself, I was charcoal a decade ago and stem programs were fucking lighter fluid and a match.

absolutely not the ops fault bc they said in the comments themself that they were just not familiar with schools in the us but part of the reason that poll is so skewed/weird is bc gifted and ap are not at allll the same thing and gifted programs in themselves are just super informal a lot of the time. like some people said you need to apply, some people were just suddenly put in one, some peoples parents asked and it happened. in my case i vaguely remembered that in fourth grade we were just one day given an 'optional' quiz that would determine whether or not you were gifted or you could just sit at your desk quietly instead. most of the kids didnt even pick the quiz up and i did it out of boredom and nothing happened after that. also gifted means nothing and in schools in minority-populated areas is often used as a means to segregate students racially to make white parents more comfortable with sending their children there.
