Scott Barry Kaufman

And I remember just being very, very confused because I didn't actually feel like there was anything wrong with me.

If you took me back to Penwyn Elementary School and you're like, show me the bathroom, show me the sink that you were pushed, your face was pushed into the sink and the water was running, I could point you directly to it.

And I just remember being taunted and being told things like, oh, you're too stupid to go on the fourth grade, you idiot, that sort of thing.

But yeah, it was really painful.

I remember driving up this very windy road to get there.

It somehow seems fitting.

Very, very long, long, windy road.

I remember the road.

I remember I was with my mom.

I remember the building.

So as I'm there and I'm taking this IQ testing session, I remember second-guessing all my answers.

I remember desperately wanting to show him I was smart.

And that report, his observations are things like...

Scott obviously wanted to do well and he second-guessed his choices a lot.

My estimation is that he is very, very bright but gets in his own way because of his self-doubt.

All I knew from that meeting is that I was shipped off to a whole school for kids with learning disabilities.

I was taken away from my public school.

So that's all I knew.

There was like, I know I took this test.

I knew it was a terrifying experience.
