So it was just kind of in my mind's eye.

I didn't know.

I thought every kid did this.

I could picture a word in my mind and then break apart the letters piece by piece.

And as I would tell these psychologists this, they were trying to understand how I was exhibiting some of these behaviors.

They knew what was happening.

They were fascinated by it.

The ability to visualize was something that was a strong point of the later parts of the program that I progressed into.

But at this point, it was just mainly, hey, we want to understand how you're doing some of these things.

You're testing very specific.

Sit with us.

Build a relationship with us.

And as this progressed...

What was happening to me is I was kind of becoming more and more isolated from the rest of the kids, the rest of my teachers.

As you know, you can kind of look in my investigation level of this.

My teachers were not told what was going on either.

Right.

Nor was the full category given to the school district.

It just looked like I had a bunch of absences.

I was being pulled from classes.
