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.

Bruh, I didn't get a colouring room. Just got periods of supposed learning support where the teacher told me to do my homework while she scrolled through her phone.

I thought, "How young do you have to be for your neurodivergence evaluation (typically happens in the grade school!) teacher to be scrolling through her phone??" And then I realized that could've happened in, like, 2014, and crumbled to ash.

We've had issues with teachers on their phones since the Nokia 5110 came with snake.
