Your speaking about my Eli to a T. This is comforting, reassuring and heart breaking! I’ve been struggling with public school since his first day! Not only is Eli physically different (born missing femurs bi-lateral) but intellectually he’s always been WAY above his level. He’s developed severe Tourette’s behaviors because he’s tried so hard to fit into a box he just never will.
This almost made me cry because it took me back to being a kid who never felt like his gifts were supported and everything was about how to fit in. What made it worse is that I was never told I was gifted so I felt SO different, fake and mentally mixed-up for trying to conform to behaviors that never made much sense and I had NO IDEA why they would NEVER come naturally to me or "make sense". I only recently self-identified and it's been very powerful but also a LOT to process.
I really think everyone should hear him say what he said at 1:15. I genuinely think I would be much further in life I wasn’t expected to be super smart all the time. I have no idea what I do and don’t like because I’ve just thrown myself into a little bit of everything.
Same here. Now my love is just logic in general. But what does that do for me? I never specialized in anything. I think it's also partially because I lacked resources though. I never really could pursue something full force.

I think most gifted kids should know that they’ll end up serving me fries. No kidding. Most of the ‘gifted’ kids in my grade and high school ended up working at the local juice factory. The C+ and B students. Well, they ended up being the most successful. Welcome to real life.

Yeah, I’m highly gifted, but my creative ideas are impossible to implement in a profoundly socio-pathic society: true story.
