LOL – I was trouble in school. Oh, I knew the material, but was “disruptive”. So much so, my parents and teacher called in the school psychologist. I took some tests, then there was a meeting. The psychologist turned to my mother and said “doesn’t it scare you”, my mother, being totally lost on that comment asked what the heck he meant.
He said “having a child with such a high IQ. He’s this way simply because he’s bored and ahead of the material.
That was my official diagnosis back in the 60s.
I didn’t have many friends, didn’t mind being alone with my “stuff” – microscope, telescope, train sets, and so on.
I didn’t have bad grades for the most part except for English (and back then did well in spelling, now my spelling sucks) but did better in college when I was totally engrossed and interested in what I was taking, again, except for English!
