    Personally, I can’t say I experienced any of that. Especially the “extra involved parents” part.

    I was in gifted programs from K-12. Turns out hyperlexia is now a well known indicator of autism.

      From what I remember it was like 30% autistic kids, 60% helicopter parents and like 10% kids from international schools who were just light years ahead of everyone else.

      I think it can be done right but not in an education system that’s so fundamentally shit to begin with.
