>>22310782As someone with an 132 IQ Dutch public health certified. It’s incredibly infuriating and lonely. I sucked at schooling because no one wanted to take the effort to “adjust” me to normalcy and how to work on certain things so that my grades could improve. I would be able to figure out hard math questions on my own way, but not on the prescribed examples given to me by class. It got so bad that they thought I was clinically retarded, that’s why they tested me.
I’ve lost 5 year of schooling from this “joke” of a childhood. I have no motivation to do a lot of stuff, and I feel like I have never been able to have an actual childhood. The only way for me to cope and go on with my schooling is to use heavy amounts of Methylphenidate. I fucking love it, it finally calms and settles my brain.
Right now I’m a law student, who has created a name for himself for being that one “neurotic” student who always is able to find flaws in homework/exams/projects. I’ve even had an occasion where I noticed that a judge had wrongfully convicted a man of aggravated assault on an officer. Because the witness statements didn’t add up (the guy drove a totally different car than the witness prescribed and the witness couldn’t have seen the car because it was on a one way road that didn’t come out at the point of the witness) therefore making the witness invalid and the guy should have been led off. (I strongly believe that he was innocent too but that’s for another point that’s irrelevant) I still feel like a weirdo and find it very hard to relate with my peers. I just wish I had some guiding in my childhood and someone to help me get through the school system…
