I was the child from hell in many respects
Could speak and knew the alphabet by 13 months.. Reading before I started preschool..
In K-3rd grade I spent so much time in the principals office (always in trouble) that we played chess.. I apparently was better than he was
Always wandering off in groups and getting lost, wasn't allowed to go on some field trips for that reason..
Went to a smaller school from 4-6 grade (MAYBE 30 students in 1-8th grades). Read at college + levels, always in remedial math... damn some things never change
Took part in some of the first studies to diagnose ADHD. Local schools didn't believe you could take part in both the gifted and LD programs at the same time
