For those of us with silly (>160) IQ, sometimes life is not very pleasant:
* Incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD, medicated without consent
* Forced into special-needs and Talented/Gifted programs
* Incorrectly diagnosed with autism, incorrectly diagnosed with OCD, incorrectly diagnosed with psychopathy
It would be nice to know why these things happen. There's not enough of us to form a good representative class, and yet I read the OP and notice 11/14 boxes ticked for me.
There are other reports of similar patterns [0][1]. This isn't isolated. The original article's hypothesis may be complete bunk; it's likely not right simply because it's too short and simple to be right. But those first few paragraphs are a pattern that those certain few of us will always recognize.
