No, nothing was retconned. Accel was in a special institution until the age of 9, then after the whole issue with the army he was sent to another special institution. So basically he has spent most of his life in one.

^^^ It's possible he could be a Gemstone but if not he at least already developed his powers at a very young age. He was able to deal with an army at ten years old, something that probably none of the other level 5's could do maybe barring Kakine, maybe.
