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;

    My dude, at no point I explicitly or implicitly tried to equate being skilled with being gifted or talented, nor that being gifted has anything to do with religion or god. I didn’t choose the term that the english language uses for this.

    I won’t bother with you anymore because it’s clear you don’t want to talk in good faith, at least not here

      Careful now, “good faith” is religiously charged and implies that God is the source of all good intent, you’re gonna set this person off with that.
