So basically in 2004, 2005, I was tested by Gifted and Talented Education.
People may have heard the gate or the tag claims.
I was tested with what was the Woodcock Test of Achievement.
It's basically like a neuropsychological testing platform.
And I was testing incredibly gifted in certain categories.
Primarily, there was a huge split between my verbal and nonverbal learning sections.
But otherwise, normal kid, right?
I was not diagnosed autistic.
I was not diagnosed with psychological problems.
I was run-of-the-mill very normal, but highly gifted when it came to some of my applications in academia.
Uh, that started this runaway process where a team of psychologists, um, which again, names, records, all of this is documented, uh, but just to leave some anonymity here and in hopes that there is some justice later on in life, uh, a team of psychologists, uh, began this relationship working with me actually coming into the school system around 2005 and
to better understand how my brain worked in reality as a young child this was all around the fourth grade so i'm about age nine now i was being told to not tell anyone about this i was being told that you know i was a very special kid i had a very special brain and no one else would understand so essentially what this started was gate was this identifier that said hey there's something very special that's happening with me
After that happened, a whole bunch of psychologists began a routine of working with me, not from the school system, but coming into the school system, and essentially started this internal grooming process with me where I would be separated and basically encouraged to keep this a secret as this progression happened.
So that carried on for a few years.
And if you can imagine, like, take yourself back to elementary school.
I didn't really know what to make of this.
It was just a lot of testing.
There wasn't necessarily anything bad happening to me.
Would they come to class and just kind of pluck you from class?
I would get removed from class.
