A gifted person demonstrates advanced abilities or potential in one or more specific areas when compared to others of the same age, experience, or environment. They excel in their capacity to think, reason and judge.
Twice-exceptional inidivduals are "gifted with a twist" as their exceptional abilities coexist with conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia or others.
Today's guest is Mental Health Therapist Emily Kircher-Morris. We'll learn about how both giftedness and twice-exceptionality present in young kids, students and adults, how to create neuro-affirming classrooms and what it needs to raise healthy neurodivergent kids. Emily and Maike also discuss the common experience of deep existential thoughts that so many gifted children share.
