[quote=Anonymous]I’m a high IQ woman with a VERY high IQ daughter who is also neurodiverse (ADHD so far but ASD has been mentioned before). I think the combination of being smart but with below average social skills is tough especially for women. I have a degree in and work in a very male dominated field and people are VERY quick to denigrate smart assertive women as bossy, combative, arrogant whatever you will and I have been walking that line my entire career. I don’t think my daughter will do that dance. And while she shouldn’t have to I do worry sometimes how she will make her way through the world as an adult. We focus on manners and she’s good about not bragging or outright comparing and so far she’s ok. We will see if it lasts. [/quote]
