[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s never ‘giftedness’. That’s just denial [/quote] Phrased more accurately, gifted kids can also have autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, etc. The mistake is in assuming giftedness is causing the problems OP describes because you don't want to see the neurodivergence. You only want to acknowledge the giftedness. This willful blindness does not help the child. Similarly, not catching LDs or neurodivergence early enough can mask giftedness, and adults wrongly assume the child is not intelligent.[/quote]
