Hello, fellow GATE kids!
I'm awaiting a long-fought-for ADHD diagnosis in the next week or two. I was "too hyper," and "fidgety," and "chatty" in school. ADHD "didn't exist" in the 70's, so I was left to figure it out myself...
Yeah, I was the middle-schooler being sent to high school for math, and the freshman taking junior level math in college. 😅 I fn hate math. It just makes sense, that's all.
True that did happen in years past, sadly...I have met a number of those who were diagnosed through my family and/or writer friends... Comparing symptoms among other families in, say, the last 30 years did begin to have more effect. My nephew was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, just 1 type!

I was in TAG, Talented and Gifted.
