#gifted by #CraftwellCocktails & #2TownsCiderhouse. So, this is what came to mind after photographing it.

Sunny vibes 🌞 Tiki mug over the usual glass—Guava Crush made me do it. Bright guava, lemon zest, tart berry, soft orchard fruit, warm and semi-sweet with a hibiscus kiss. 🍹

I edited this image to express what it feels like to have double exceptionality, that is, the concurrence of giftedness and autism.
When people ask me why, being so intelligent, I can't do many things that others can... This is the explanation.

#autism #autistic #actuallyautistic #gifted #giftedness #neurodivergent

Aspasia was the teacher of Socrates, one of the greatest philosophers in history.
In a similar way, although with the big difference that I am not Socrates, my mother, who barely knew how to write, taught me to read when I was 3 years old.
In the many tests they gave me, they asked me how and why I learned to read at that age. And I answered that I saw children going to school and I wanted to go too, I saw my father reading and wanted to read too. Then I had my appendix removed and to keep me entertained my mother decided to indulge me and teach me my first letters.
A month later I was already reading everything I could find: posters, books, magazines, advertisements.
My father loved to read and bought books, entire encyclopedias. When I was 8 he bought a collection of 60 books and then 40 more books at a used book fair. So, between the ages of 8 and 10, I read those 100 books.
From Borges and Unamuno to Kafka and Poe. I read Papillon, Robinson Crusoe, Trafalgar, Cortázar, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Kant, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche.
Many of them weren't to my father's liking, but I liked them. One day he threw away a book with Chinese characters, and I rescued it and read it; it was the Dao De Jing.
Then came books on science, physics, biology, and astronomy.
I studied engineering, medicine, philosophy, and programming.
But it wasn't until I was 47 that I learned I was bipolar and gifted, and not until I was 59 that I learned I was autistic.
But if for a moment you might believe that this brought me success and happiness, I'm telling you it didn't. Rather, I had a worldview that made me a misanthrope, a nihilist, a loner, and a pessimist.

AN AUTISTIC URBAN HERMIT
(you may not understand if you are not autistic)

@autistics
@autism101

For many years, I've been a very curious person. I've learned many things and done many things that I found interesting: science, art, computer science. Like a voracious animal, my mind has consumed all kinds of information, eager to understand everything around me and everything I experienced. Soldier, doctor, monk, musician, hacker, etc. Until one day, staring at the ceiling in the bed of a psychiatric hospital where I was hospitalized, I asked myself: "How did I get here, to this?" And that night, 17 years ago, another part of my life began. I began to die and be reborn, to discover how and why I had gotten to that situation. I discovered that I have high abilities, that I am bipolar and autistic. But for every limitation I discovered, I also discovered the limitations of the world and the human society in which I live.
Today I know that nothing has meaning and that life doesn't need to have it; that what many see as progress and evolution, I see as barbarism and brutality, and that humanity is the stupidest species on the planet, not the best. I don't have goals anymore, I don't need them. But I do have a compass, a kind of direction without needing to get anywhere. To live as peacefully as possible and need very little, being aware and critical of everything. A peaceful dwelling isn't just my house tucked away in the middle of the city, but also a peaceful inner life, without the noise and clamor of the lives of "normal people," without socializing more than the bare minimum necessary for survival. And this isn't because of autism; it's because of a kind of purge, a psycho-spiritual hygiene. The forced social being I often was is dying. Until a few years ago, there wasn't so much exposure and socialization; it wasn't mandatory or essential to living and working in this world. With all the technology and supposed progress, there is increasing misery, hunger, war, and violence everywhere, which makes me think that it's more of a trigger than a solution.
Being overly intelligent and being autistic is a fatal combination that guarantees the death of the social being and the development of the inner hermit that every gifted autistic person potentially is. I'm slowly retreating from the world to my quiet inner abode, where a very narrow door filters who enters and who doesn't. Just my small family group and a minimum of kindness toward a few people is more than enough.
I thought a lot about sharing what I'd learned, about helping, but I realized that idealism and the romanticization of compassion are useless when the sufferer doesn't understand the root of their problems and isn't willing to do their part. Human nature is to be a soulless son of a bitch, held back only by fear of punishment, whether from human law itself or some imagined deity. It's better to live in full awareness of the suchness of things. I myself can be a compassionate genius and in the next moment break your head for being rude and treating me badly.
We live in the worst of all possible worlds, and with that, we are warned that the worst can always happen. Knowing that, any good thing that comes or appears is a gift, a bonus track.
I don't give unsolicited advice, but if you want some, it's this: "Step away from the world as it is and watch it burn from a distance."

Ok

Multiple exceptional kids

We need to identify them as early as possible

They require special programs, adjustments in schooling and parenting, they feel outsiders, they need to be in touch with other special kids

What would happen to them, should they NOT identified ?

That's what happened to me

I was "identified" at 50 both as adhd and gifted

I struggled with mental health all life long and i didn't know what I was struggling with

I felt unbearable pain, I suffered from derealization in my 20ies

I lost youth

Now I'm not sure I know who i am

The psychological profile from the scm 90 is bleak

Are there any considerations for lost adults ?

Books ? Videos ? Science ?

Am I on my own in this ?

#Movies

#ChrisEvans is best known for his roles as #CaptainAmerica in the #Avenger movies & #TheHumanTorch #JohnnyStorm in the #FantasticFour movies but he's also acted very well & sensitively in 2 of my favorite movies of his --- #Push (2009) & #Gifted (2017)-- where he acts against type with a young woman and a young girl in those movies, respectively.

If you haven't seen him in these movies, I highly recommend you take a look at them.

I'd like to establish contacts with so called #gifted people

#giftedness
#neurodivergence

I've been told I'm not #adhd, I'm "gifted"

But I keep seeing adhd memes I strongly relate to

Why is this ?

Bought this #Indigenous #handmade #RecycledPaper #journal book & told folks, I'm gifting it to one of my many native friends in town. 20 minutes after I said that - my friends Raven(Wolf) & Marco walk into ReStore. I knew #Creator led us back together & the book is supposed to be #gifted to Raven.
She was one of my #NativeActivist #LandDefender besties at resistance camps. We stood side by side while facing off with RCMP corporate mercenaries in remote forest protection camps.

I've been learning all about the wonderful world of ranunculus - everything from the humble buttercup to the frilly flowers loved by brides.

It's all explored in a new book by Naomi Slade with fab photos by Georgianna Lane. (Book #gifted)

#Parents and #teachers often forget that intellectual maturity does NOT equal #emotional #maturity with highly and profoundly #gifted kids. Instead of pathologizing normal #childhood behavior, the adults in the room need to re-evaluate their own expectations and provide support (if even necessary) to kids who are just being kids.

Can you share a little about the Depth and Complexity framework and what exactly the five Content Imperatives: Origin, Parallel, Contribution, Convergence, and Paradox are? #gtchat #gifted #GiftedEd #Education

I worked at a state uni teacher prep program and I can tell you those UG & grad students got almost no training in #SpecialEd. What we do know is that many teachers rely on "junior instructors" in their classrooms to support the needs of struggling #students. You know, the #gifted kids who get paired up on group projects with less engaged classmates - or how #PeerTutoring is used under the guise that it helps the GT kid reinforce their own learning.
