"gifted children" are not necessarily gifted... sometimes kids just get a burst of development in certain areas, and it evens out and stagnates over time. its just how some people develop, you are not "failed" because of it.

As overplayed as the undiagnosed gifted kid to burned out neurodivergent narrative is, I fall into it perfectly. I have complicated feelings on being labeled as ‘gifted’ and placed into various advanced classes as a kid. Being “smart” was (and still, is, honestly) a deep rooted part of my identity. Any turn of events that makes me feel unintelligent deeply shakes my self esteem.
I think this is particularly potent for ND people because we think in behave in such divergent ways that our differences are considered an extension of our giftedness. In our minds being intelligent is the one good thing we have. We’re often mocked or looked down upon for not fitting in, so our only security is academic achievement.
I’d think admittedly very nasty things about the classmates that would ostracize me as a child. “It doesn’t matter what they think, because I’m so much smarter than them, and they’ll end up failing at life while I succeed” It hurt a lot to be excluded and at times laughed at. Basically little me was just coping extremely hard.
It’s dangerous to attribute success, whether academically or monetarily, to worth, but it’s something almost everyone is prone to. And in a society not designed for neurodivergent people, it’s much harder to meet that definition of success.
So you fail. And then what? Those around you have been sending the you the same messaging all your life- the one part of you that is worth anything at all is not enough.

A couple years ago everyone called me:
Quiet
Shy
Gifted
Mature
Independent
Sensitive
"A pleasure to have in class"
All those labels did was other me. I felt so alone & I never had a word to describe how I felt.
You can claim that "autism is a trend" or that I'm "just an attention seeker" but now I have a community of people who're just like me.

I was talking with my therapist about how I hadn’t realized as a kid that other kids would hang out outside of school for no reason. I thought birthday parties and school projects were the only reason to ever see anyone outside of school. Like you go to each other’s houses? Just because? To “hang out”???
I thought that was just something that teen movies made up

kinda funny that a prominent trait of autism is feeling strongly about injustice. yes hello my child is angry about late-stage capitalism, can we get a ‘tism certificate?

god it's so uncomfortable how people treat you when you let them know you're nonverbal/semiverbal. i had my roomie call my professor with me and kinda be my voice and they said i was struggling to speak (i was only able to get out a weak "h-h-h- i" to prove it was me and it was so painful) they said "oh my god im so sorry" and it was so uncomfortable. they treated it like "oh you poor thing :(" even after we said it was fine and it happens and it was so weird and seemed like they thought it was horrific? i hate the pity reaction so much.
i haven't been able to speak for a few weeks and it's perfectly chill. i don't mind it at all and i just use my aac if i need/want to say something. if anything it's just mildly inconvenient? because i can't answer phone calls without help and i get weird looks from the grocery store employees but that's... about it?
please stop treating disabled people like it's a tragedy that they're different. i just need patience and understanding, not pity and apologizes. i do not think it's sad that i struggle to speak or am slow. yeah, it's tough to be in a world not made for you, but that doesn't mean it's awful. im proud of who i am and don't want pity for being myself.

anyone else ever get a momentary moment of panic where you accidentally use the wrong their/they’re/there or your/you’re or whose/who’s and you’re freaking out and calling yourself a hypocrite because you’re the kind of person who corrects people for using the wrong their/they’re/there or your/you’re or whose/who’s and you fix it quickly but you think about it for the next three weeks because What If I Hadn’t Fixed It In Time
or is that just me?

The most autistic experience I've ever had is people bullying me because of how I acted, but would turn around and act like they liked me because I was "smart".
I feel like most people only people like me when I can do something for them.

When I first started thinking I might be autistic I would ask my friends and family what they thought. I always got some form of “but you don’t have a schedule” or “you don’t do routines”.
This morning I was getting ready for the day and declared that I wasn’t going to wash my hair because I didn’t want to deal with it. What was the first thing I did upon entering the shower? Get out my shampoo because that’s the way I start a shower. So I was caught standing in the shower with a fistful of shampoo trying to decide if I should waste the not-so-cheap shampoo or just cave and wash my hair.
Then I was getting dressed and I picked up my top. I was immediately repulsed by the idea of putting it on before my jeans and threw it on my bed. Why? Because pants go first.
