[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, I understand the explanation. I just think that most people, however wrongly, associate positively with the word "exceptional" -- i.e., it's more word associated colloquially with the "strength" part. So, the term "twice exceptional" makes it sound like it's a good thing when. It's like using the phrase "special needs" to describe highly advanced children. Yes, they have special needs, but it's not the word we tend to use to describe them. Whatever. Never mind. [/quote] Our pediatrician likes to use the phrase "learning difference" instead of "learning disability" as it sounds less negative.[/quote]
