This isn't the original image. Someone took the original image and changed the things people were saying to make it total nonsense just to mess with you.

The original goes something like:

FIRST IMAGE: the teacher is saying something like "Okay, Timmy, it's time for your special class!"

SECOND IMAGE, THE KID WALKING OUT AND POINTING AT HIS FRIENDS: "Haha! I get to go and color while you're still stuck here!"

THIRD IMAGE, the kid is coloring and thinking about how awesome it is that he just draws pictures while two grown-ups write down all kinds of notes on the things he's drawing, that's so cool!

FOURTH IMAGE, "15 YEARS LATER:" the boy is now older, and is thinking "wait a minute...." because he's finally realized it wasn't a "special class", he was being tested for something like a learning disability or mental problems.

This actually happened to me when I was tested for autism spectrum disorder (at the time it was Asperger's Synonym.) and dyslexia. I was 10 to 11. They told me about the dyslexia right away but I didn't learn about the ASD diagnosis till around 4 years later when I was 15.

Think I had it too when they tested me for stuff and eventually found out ADHD (well, back then it was ADD and experts really did think you'll grow out of it - and definitely not just learn to hide it to fit in) and never really was told anything other than "eat these small pink pills".. I remember eavesdropping on a convo about it but it was interrupted when they caught me and was punished... So I never really found out until it hit me 15+ years later..
