[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] Many gifted kids are very socially attuned because their giftedness naturally makes them very observant so they’re able to read people and work a situation to their advantage. [/quote] I meant to add that these kids are often the full package: class president and valedictorian types. There are very smart people who struggle socially, but I think that stands out so much because there is such a big contrast between social and intellectual ability. I wouldn’t say that being gifted inherently means that someone will struggle socially. [/quote] You're likely describing above average, not gifted. [/quote]
