Other points:

  • it’s not mutually exclusive with any other neurodivergence, in which case they’re “twice exceptional”;
  • In an environment with unprepared people and professionals, they may be wrongly diagnosed as having some other neurodivergence.
  • It’s not just a high IQ score;
  • Gifted kids can be problem students and have low grades;
  • Homework feels like torture (this is true to any child, tho);
  • They’re very likely to question authorities and point out perceived hypocrisy (emphasis here on perceived, because pointing something and being right are different things);
  • As kids, they may have weird quirks for executing tasks, such as wanting to hold pencils the “wrong” way, or wanting to press against a wall to do homework;

    Laughable that you’d call everyone confidently ignorant while you get downvoted into oblivion. Try some humility. Maybe this rant was misplaced, and you’re wrong for going off with it. There was no religious connotation implied with the original post. You misread. Get over it.

        I understand just fine, thank you. You’re reading a religious connotation where there is none, and you can’t seem to let that go. You’re hung up on the etymology of the word lmfao.

        Lmfao all these edits instead of responding directly. Cope harder, dude.
