[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the traits described in autism sound very similar to traits found in "gifted" students.  How do you know if it's giftedness vs autism?[/quote]

Gifted high achievers also have strong executive functioning skills, communication skills, can regulate their emotions. And can be a very strong team athlete too. The triple or quadruple threats.

Gifted 2E students, not so much or only for select hyper interests. [/quote]

lol I guess you’ve never met a lot of truly gifted high achievers. You are describing very fortunate people but likely not very high IQ people. [/quote]

Whatever you say, sure.

Definitely no such thing as a high IQ, high GPA, attractive, athletic student or person doing tough majors and careers to wild success.

They are “fortunate.”[/quote]

“High IQ” is not gifted. Of course there are many people who are very successful who have those characteristics but they aren’t getting the Nobel Prizes or even named chairs. [/quote]
