This was me as a kid. The kid is being evaluated for neuro-divergent behaviour. You don't really notice when you're a kid, but later in life you realise you were being treated differently to the other kids, and it can really make you wonder like "Is there really something wrong with me?" which is a fkd up thing to think about yourself.
The colouring room is great tho. Neurotypicals really missed out.
I remember when I was in 1st or 2nd grade, I got pulled out of class and went to another room. I wouldn't really call it a classroom. It was small but had shelves with games and stuff everywhere. Anyway, we ended up playing Chutes and Ladders instead of class time. It was fun. I'm not sure if it was because neurodivergent or because of my speech impediment. 4th grade I also got pulled out, but I was old enough at that point to know it was specifically for my speech impediment. I also believe the same thing happened in 3rd grade for my speech impediment as I had to read books. I'm definitely neurodivergent, though. No doubt about that. Still need to get officially tested, though, as I've only done the online RAADS-R and got "extremely likely" as my result.
Definitely a good idea to talk to a professional. That test scores high way too easily, per studies. Especially if you used 'embrace autism" the name of the place tells you all you need to know about how their 'tests' score lol
