The point of "gifted child to adult burnout pipeline" was never to say "i had so much potential", it was "people placed absurd and crushing expectations on me because they did not get that i wasn't 'gifted', i just had normal hyperfixations". This is completely missing the point of the meme, neurotypical ass bs.
I just found the classroom environment and prison mentality unbearable as an undiagnosed autistic person. I was punished for my autistic behaviours rather than having them recognised and accommodated, and this continued into adulthood until I got diagnosed. Hell I've been fired after diagnosis for requesting accomodations, they just make up some other bullshit excuse.
