I moved to 2nd grade after about a month in 1st. By the time I was 16, I was graduating HS, but I had the emotional and social skills of a 10-year-old.

I am dyslexic and colorblind but my elementary school special ed. program never really caught on to either until the third grade, so I literally spent grades k-3 failing upwards since I was terrible at reading and too "stupid" to know my colors correctly. I ended up taking SPED classes from third grade to senior year of high school due to the dyslexia thing, even though I eventually learned to read as well as the next guy!

Are you sure you're not getting him mixed up with the guy after him?

I'm not super smart, but I had a ridiculous head start. Instead of going to preschool when my mom went back to work, I was left in the care of two retired school principals for a few years, so when I started school I was at about the level of a 4th grader, I never skipped a grade, but was constantly put into special classes, programs and schools, and broke the scale of the IQ test that are weighted for age, my score had a bunch of plus signs at the end. The school I was in for 5th and 6th grade was set up so that everything was a group project, in every group I was the one who drew the pictures, so I didn't write anything or learn much for a couple of years, and threw the tests, which got me back into normal high school with my normal friends. Then in 8th grade I made the mistake of optimising some trigonometry equation, apparently everyone had been doing it the long way for hundreds of years, so instead of riding skateboards in the afternoons with my normal friends, I got dragged along to a university for some math enrichment evening course for gifted 11th and 12th graders. I wasn't allowed to choose my own subjects and because I was good with math my parents forced me to take commerce, which I hated, so I dropped out of high school and left home at 15. monkey fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Apr 14, 2015 |
