Summary of the video:

Many gifted children are incorrectly diagnosed as having emotional disorders. Other diagnoses are actually more common among gifted children, but are often overlooked. Because few psychologists, pediatricians, or other health care professionals receive training about gifted children, this session offers information about characteristics of gifted children, frequent issues that arise, and guidelines to distinguish whether a childis simply showing gifted behaviors or suffers from disorders such as ADHD or Asperger's Disorder. Because some disorders are more frequently found in gifted children, additional focus is given to these dual diagnoses of gifted children.

Thanks for sharing, PP. Very informative. Good to know that my very intense, strong will, inquisitive, allergy ridden, always challenging 5 years old is difficult for a reason. Good to know that I should reason with her more to avoid the constant power struggle. Good to know why she is so easily stimulated that she cannot even eat chocolate. Good to know why she prefers to sit with her teacher in the school playground rather than playing with kids. Good to know that why she is a completely different kid when she is hungry. Good to know while she always has hard time falling asleep, once asleep, a train can go by and not wake her up. Really good to know that she is not trying to be difficult, she is just different.
