I’m sick of hearing the whining of “gifted” children. Like, why are they even “gifted” to begin with? What… they remember the names of shapes and count well and we’re supposed to believe they’re the second coming of Albert Einstein?

Can imagine the type of person this could rest? Imagine growing up and being told your special and better then the other kids when all they can do is learn faster than everyone else. There just lucky, that’s what gets me. It’s like being praised for being born rich. It’s like if we lived in a world where anyone was in a wheelchair and they could walk.

As someone with interactual disabilities I hate hearing them complain. Like really? you you were praised growing up and did well academically? Aww, I cry for you😥

    from my personal experience; “gifted children” often have Autism/ADHD and suffer in their own way that you probably don’t see, because it’s silent suffering, on the inside.

    i have autism and i can tell you that while i always had no problems in school, my life is still full of problems. i have difficulty with loud noises, such as cars, so just walking side by the street is a challenge for me. you never considered that, did you?
