#gifted kid

[incognitopolls]

This is about academia, so programs for art/sports/etc don't count, only studying.

A program for gifted kids would be separate from most of the other kids, and only be open to certain students.

The "highest level" is referring to classes where you learn differently based on your academic levels. Unlike being a part of a separate program, you would still be in the same class as your peers, you would just be the "best" among them.

Hearing constantly about gifted autistic kids and people seeing it as THEE autistic trait has completely disregarded those who aren’t gifted and made a HUGE divide in the community. Seeing constantly “yeah autistic people are usually gifted” is so annoying because a VERY large chunk of autistic people, aren’t actually gifted and media has just put the gifted people at the front because they’re more palatable. The “autistic gifted kid burnout” has become more so a trend than anything and I’ve seen a lot of people assume they’re autistic because they are the “gifted kid burnout person” when that isn’t even a requirement for an autism diagnosis. You don’t have to be gifted to be autistic. You don’t have to be!!

Start putting the people who struggle more in the spotlight. Those with intellectual disabilities, those with learning disabilities, those with cognitive disabilities, those who are just generally stereotypically “dumb” and embrace it!

We need to have a very big discussion about this as a community and it needs to start today.

My life is a constant cycle between "I need to rest before I burn out" and "I'm wasting my potential, I should work harder"

to the ones who were meant to beat the odds, meant to succeed where others had failed, who've felt the weight of expectation on their shoulders since they could hold their head up alone. those who know the feeling of peering eyes & judging whispers in their ears.

to those who were meant to be the best, & did not reach those hopes, you did wonderfully. your efforts are not in vain, no matter how bitter their words may be.

you tried. it wasn't easy, so you fought. search for that pride inside of yourself & once you find it, cling on hard. you've stayed, so you've won.

How Prevent Gifted Kid Burnout From a Gifted Silly whose Fire is still Blazing with Rage

1. EVERYTHING IS STUPID.

School is stupid, parents with unrealistically high expectations of you are stupid, teachers who overwork you are stupid.

You don't need their approval. You don't need to impress authority to have worth.

You don't need to be perfect, especially not in a broken system.

Test scores aren't a measure of intelligence. You are smart, even if the material was difficult to grasp.

You're not "wasting your potential" if you decide to pursue a career you love. Create art, write music, perform, you're contributing to the beauty of the world. There's more value in that than most people see.

You're not "wasting your potential" if you're an adult who isn't busting their butt in college or a fancy job. The economy is fucked right now, and being an adult is hard. You're doing your best.

And sometimes, you can't be at your best all the time, but you're trying, and that's all that matters.

2. Don't let school ruin a passion for learning.

Just learn. Learn and love learning. Learn without school holding you down. Find your passions, and run after them. Pursue knowledge because it's fucking fun.

Research something you care about for fun, challenge yourself to learn how to complete that math problem, learn, not because you feel like you have to, but because you want to.

Never let school make you lose a love for learning.

3. They explain it more effectively than I can lol

I made a video game metaphor but, when I was finding the video that made me realize this I read another video game metaphor that explained it better, "So basically, as a gifted kid, I skipped the tutorial because it felt too easy. Then the actual game threw curveballs at me" (adorablehoe, 2nd top comment).

HealthyGamerGG's entire channel has great information

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 kinda have beef with the way some folks with adhd portray different adhd experiences. specifically, the “gifted kid” adhders who will say stuff like “the kids who failed got diagnosed and accommodated while we, the Gifted Kids, suffered in undiagnosed silence” and i just wanna remind y’all that this fantasy y’all have of the adhders who showed stereotypical signs of adhd getting noticed immediately and accommodated is just not true to reality for most of us.

i was one of those adhders who failed instead of continuing on the Gifted Kid route, and i didn’t get diagnosed until i was in my mid 20’s. didn’t get accommodations, didn’t get any help, i just got told i was lazy and not trying hard enough. i had teachers and professors treat me like hot fucking garbage bc they “could see i had so much potential i wasn’t living up to”, but never thought to actually like fucking help me or ask what was going on. i managed to graduate high school and get into college, but in college it got so bad that i had to take an extra year and barely graduated. even for adhders who do get accommodations, it’s rare that they’re actually respected or taken seriously. this is the reality for most of the people you’re talking about.

and i don’t deny that there’s a unique struggle the Gifted Kid Crowd faces with not getting diagnosed and living with that anxiety, but the fact is y’all have more opportunities than we do because y’all did well in school. y’all are less likely to be unemployed or poor or be able to get higher level and higher paying jobs. so please think for two seconds before commenting on the experiences of other adhders like that.

Actual exchange between my therapist and me-

Therapist: “And what do we do if we can’t do something the first time we try?”

Me: “put it away and never do it again?”

Both: ~laughter~

Giftedness is not required with autism or adhd. No one owes you talent or giftedness. Stop acting like it’s a requirement!!

went to overachieving student to huge mess. i am now fairly depressed and doing my masters through distance learning. anyone interested in forming a support group for lonely, insane academics ? we have to be held accountable for our actions in some way

i wish less of the conversation around being a gifted kid/former gifted kid is about the pressure of academic achievement and success and more about the complete lack of resources for learning to manage every day life. because tbh after i left high school, the pressure to succeed in school pretty much went away because it didn't matter nearly as much what grades i was getting in college. what did matter was that i had absolutely no way to take care of myself or manage my life, because i had a disability that had been completely ignored for 18 years. i have autism and adhd--the problems i had once i graduated high school weren't feeling inadequate when i got a B on a paper. the problem was that i wasn't eating, showering, sleeping, brushing my teeth, showing up to classes on time, or talking to people for days and weeks on end, because my executive dysfunction, sensory processing issues, and social anxiety were getting in the way of my life.

personally, i think that's the real price of being a "gifted kid" (i'm talking about myself here--lots of neurodivergent ppl experience this even if they weren't gifted). it isn't just that i was expected to excel at everything and then shamed when i acted like a flawed human, it was that those expectations distracted everyone from actually trying to help me function in society. and now as an adult i have to contend with the fact that i suffered my whole life from a disability because people were just too ableist to accept that, despite having good grades, i still needed help. i needed to learn how to take care of myself and function in the world for fucks sake

#i don't like a lot of the 'discourse' around gifted kids bc i think it's very stupid #no one who grows up disabled is having a good time and i don't like how often these conversations turn into oppression olympics #but now that i'm firmly in Adult World #i have a much clearer perspective on my gifted kid era than i did when i was in it #anyways thank god for adhd occupational therapy bc otherwise i still wouldn't know how to function #alex talks #actually autistic #actually adhd #gifted kid #gifted kid syndrome #gifted kid burnout #autistic adult #adhd adult #fav #greatest hits #.txt
