As someone who exhibited many of Connor's behaviors while growing up and whose mother was suggested more than once by teachers to have me medicated, this whole story gives me a weird and uncomfortable feeling - especially when I saw his parents ultimately took him off medication. My mother never had me medicated, and when reading writeups like these I'm sometimes astounded she didn't. I was a complete menace in class at times dealing with other students, emotionally immature, obnoxious, and absolutely acing all my classes. In retrospect, I was bored and overenergized, and eventually math started kicking my ass and I leveled out. I like to think I'm a "bright" person to this day. I wonder if in another timeline, I was jerking and ticcing at 9 years old.
