    My parents were told I had it but they chose to ignore it fearing what others would think of them. May they rot.

    My senior year I had 104 in computer science, a 99 in physics and a 100 in typing. In algebra I had a 75 and 72 in English. Somehow my parents blamed the teachers. It never occurred to them that the math for algebra and physics overlaps a lot. It didn't occur to my algebra teacher either.

    My partner got that on hers.

    I got a mix of that and "a pleasure to have in class, but needs to work on not distracting others"

    How I went 31 years with no raised eyebrows is funny to me, so many red flags attributed to being "quirky" or "eccentric".
