It's sad that most people assume that if you were in special ed, it means you're not smart, or are mentally retarded. There are SO many reasons that people can qualify for special education, that don't have any impact on their IQ--Autistic kids are almost always in special ed, but the high functioning ones are usually very smart. Dyslexic kids, ADHD kids--a lot of them end up in special ed classes too because their behavior and social struggles make it hard to function in a general education setting. But they're usually very smart.
Loads of disabilities can impact your body and ability to socialize and control emotions, but don't affect intelligence at all. =<
Not ranting at you--it's just a personal observation that people tend to be shocked to find out that a smart person went through school in special ed. There's this weird stigma attached to it and it's just really kind of sad.
Ahem. /rant. emotion_awesome

Ayame Sunshine KI773RSHADOW Ayame Sunshine KI773RSHADOW Ayame Sunshine KI773RSHADOW Thanks. I feel so smart. Although it just made me.feel.dumb when I got to elementary school math. First part on the math- Integrated Algebra and fractions. Second was Elementary and that was NOT elementary school math. I went from "Too easy" to "Holy mother of god WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?" Lol, oh I cant wait xD Im in special ed math...... Math is a hard subject so nor worries. My history teacher was in special ed and he's one of the smartest people I've ever known. My writing is what saved my SAT scores lol I have to work on my penmanship. I'm only in ninth grade so I have enough time before I even take the PSAT Oh wow and you already saved on some college classes? Lucky xD Yep. : ) and with me taking College courses I can become a game designer even quicker

It takes me some.time to process things. I'll take five seconds to figure out fifty plus twelve. -_- Although as a baby and a little kid,I was the most progressive child out if everyone in my family line. I actually skipped crawling and walked at 8 months old. I started talking a month or two after. My mom said it was perfect for my age too. Not to mention my hair covered my entire head.Almost suffocated but I still have amazing curly hair. I couldn't get injured though. That was weirs. I

And I don't get any chubbier. All I have is a round,beautiful gut and it stays the same no matter how much I eat. Its not a disorder either,I'm just a hungry guy.
