i'm not saying that neurodivergent people are "gifted", i'm saying that the term "gifted" is a euphemism and i don't like the term.

It's a way to ignore the issue of people being different and needing individualized treatment, instead saying that they're "gifted" as if they're just blessed by god to do better in school, which is a toxic idea.

We shouldn't call kids "gifted" and give them the next year's textbook, we should recognize that it's extremely likely they're neurodivergent and need a diagnosis and different adjustments depending on the person. One person might just need a separate room to study in, one person might need permission to sit in the back with headphones on listening to music, one might need an extra teacher who personally helps them out.
