I could've been in the gifted program. However, I was considered to retarded to be a part of it. (My words) I have dyslexia and speech problems so I ended up appearing worse academically than I was. I can read no problem and was reading from a young age. I just couldn't explain what I was reading verbally.

We need to rethink the classroom so that people from all backgrounds succeed. Often neurodivergent people are the ones who can excel.
