Yes for most of my life in school I was put into special education classes a place where I never felt like I fit in my understanding was very acute that I was different but I believe my ability was not lacking but back then no one understood autism ,it wasn't till I was in 8thgrade that I scored a 144 on a IQ test not knowing what that meant until I wasn't in those classes anymore an mom told me with pride that means you scored in the genius level ,which I'm guessing is kinda different because in so many aspects I'm lacking but in all reality I was being labeled in a way that wasn't accurate my whole childhood I didn't find out till later they had be diagnosed as retarded .
