You might ask: Why is this even important?

To me it’s important because I have gotten to know a lot of gifted people through my life, and a lot of these were not even close to reaching some kind of potential, because their challenges comes in the way all the time.

It’s an amazingly big waste of energy and potential, that we have created a world where a lot of people who’s different thinkers/feelers is marginalized and doesn’t feel included, lack purpose and has low self-esteem.

I really don’t know what to do to change this general misunderstanding of giftedness. But listening to other gifted people about their “gifted trauma” really helped feel connection and understanding.

And even if I come across as arrogant when trying to explain my strengths and weaknesses, or in any other situation where I have a hard time making myself understood, understanding I’m not alone helps a lot.

When talking about giftedness. I sometimes meet the opinion, that “if you are so smart, why don’t you solve your own problems?”

But having a gifted mind doesn’t equal being smart in all walks of life. And it doesn’t come with the unique ability of changing who you are. It sometimes comes with the understanding of how to mask and blend in, but that’s really not sustainable in any way.

The list of challenges for gifted people is long, when trying to blend in in everyday life.

Perfectionism, making it hard to be satisfied
Come forward as more (too) intense to others
Can have a hard time, making one self understandable by others
Often more emotional and sensory sensitive
Lacks patience (ex for small talk)
And more…

All of this brings low self-esteem and the feeling of being different.

And I really get why I and others can come across that way, when talking about ourself as gifted.

One side of the narrative is having special abilities, being a fast thinker/learner, solving/understanding complex problems and more. But non of these abilities makes me a better human being - which some people seem to think is the purpose of calling one selves gifted.

But the other side of giftedness is all the challenges which comes with a gifted mind.

Since then I have tried to bring up the subject with friends and family, and even though they listened, it never really was a meaningful conversation.

I experience the issue starts with the expression #giftedness itselves. Most people seem to think, that if you call yourself gifted, you feel you are better than others and seem arrogant and self-satisfied. Which really isn’t how I learned to use the expression.

So talking about it often just adds on to the trauma of feeling misunderstood.

Takling about #giftedness

When I first joined Mastodon, I stumbled upon the org. InterGifted and their podcast “Gifted Trauma”

“It's the trauma that gifted people can experience if they feel ridiculed, ignored, rejected, misunderstood, out-of-place, left out or left behind, pressured to conform, or excessively groomed or exploited as a result of their unusual minds.”

The podcast resonated so hard, and together with a friend I made a club, where we listened to and talked about the podcast.

@Sci_Fi_FanGirl @actuallyautistic

For me, the #giftedness #savant thing is not good. It focusses on things that are pretty rare, thus obscuring what is commonplace.

ND people come in all shapes and sizes, and some of us are lucky enough to be gifted, just as others are not so lucky.

All of us are ND. That's what we *share*, and that's what I prefer to focus on. 👍 😀

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 ?

It completely misses the point of the condition

Today I want to talk about #giftedness and #revictimization

Yesterday, I‘ve had my first intense fight on mastodon and it has left marks. I have been denied existence and revictimized. This is really bad.

Like, folks dont need to believe giftedness is a thing, they dont need to accept the measurements or the surrounding factors but they need to understand that peeps are being bullied and traumatized for thinking and learning fast.

For a lot of us, school was a nightmare, regular…

#introduction

Born on Orang Laut land #Singapore, now on Wadawurrung land #Australia.

Mentor for the #neurodivergent, especially those who know they sense, feel and think differently, but don't necessarily feel comfortable with or want labels.

#chronichealth, liminal #mecfs.

#actuallyautistic × #giftedness but don't use labels much. Non-language interoceptive × proprioceptive thinker/cognition, secondarily visual × tactile.

Those of us who live and work in the field of #giftedness recognize the arbitrariness of #IQ scores. For example, a popular destination testing center in Colorado is well known for ignoring protocol and testing kids on the selected subtests that they know gifted kids will ace. So many of their clients come out with artificially high scores ... and, incidentally, an extraordinarily high percent are also diagnosed with convergence insufficiency. /2
