So, I came across a piece by Isaac Asimov where he says he scored a 160 on the military aptitude test. A little research shows this was likely the Wechsler Mental Ability Test form b, and at the time the military standardised on a 100 mean, 20std deviation. So, he'd be ~145 on our more usual scales with 15std dev. But then if you account for the Flynn effect, that'd be under 130 ie he wouldn't qualify as gifted for this sub.

He wrote over 500 books.

I've been reading, and it sounds like the experience of 2e students is incredibly variable.

So, adults that are now out of school, how was it for you? What did you like? What did you hate? What accommodations, support, programs were you offered? How did your parents deal with it? What do you wish you had?
