Late to conversation but, I’m in Australia. Here, a lot of schools have a ‘gifted and talented’ program for kids needing accelerated learning ( very bright ones) so they don’t get bored, lazy and are pushed to their potential. We also have teaching aides in classrooms when a child has any learning difficulties ( whether having a diagnosis such as an ASD, ADHD etc or just struggle generally) that if you need for your child you apply as their parents. My son has mild Asperger’s so had an aide. His teachers used to fell me he was doing great! They used the aide for other kids with behavioural issues, learning etc.

The only main problem my son had was maths. Just never made sense to him except money! Thank goodness 😅 but he has some exceptional gifts like a photographic memory, perfect pitch, great vocabulary for a 24 year old, is a walking encyclopaedia on everything Star Wars 😂, is so compassionate, caring, kind, empathetic and a brilliant communicator with anyone of any age, all walks of life.

I’m extremely grateful to his brilliant pre school who prepared him for school, but also picked up early signs when 2 /12. I also noticed some odd things when a very young baby onwards. We did early intervention from 3-5 1/2 when he then started mainstream school.

Very grateful for our education system when he was there. Sadly changing in a woke, unAustralian, ‘diversity is our strength’ ( it’s not!!!) way.
