When I was in school my Mother got me out of the public school and sent me to a hippie school that claimed it was a child centered school which is like the definition of autism which is self centered.

Well it definitely was not a ret*d school. Some of the students may have been a little behind because the school lacked rigorous discipline but there were some very ambitious students who intended on eventually going to an ivy league school.

In elementary school I was always considered bright but I didn't fit in because I was interested in space travel and it was no longer the fad.
