there are autistic people that are also gifted in real life, by the way! I know gifted kids are over-represented in media when it comes to autism representation, but when talking about how that’s an issue (which it is, I won’t deny that), could you guys not just say that we don’t exist? as a gifted person that also has autism. hiii we’re real!! we’re not just a trope!!!
I spend a lot of time on the Internet because I've always felt like that one person nobody really listens to or cares about what is saying.
But I've come to realize nobody on the Internet really cares about what I have to say either so 😅
I just want to put out there that gifted kids and gifted people are also considered neurodivergent and can share symptoms with ADHD and autism, such as sensory issues, executive disfunction, and the need to stim.
Also, giftedness does not stop when they grow up. Their brains are wired to solve problems. Take that away from them and they will collapse from understimulation - leading to plummeting mental health and a failure to thrive in society.
i wont deny diagnosis are useful and give you some kind of peace of mind; i am grateful i’m diagnosed. but sometimes its so frustrating. what does it matter whether i have it or not? when the adaptations are almost always shit or non existent? when no one ever thought of telling me what my diagnosis actually entails?
i spent most of my childhood trying to hide i was gifted, feeling utterly ashamed. school would only give me extra “creative” homework. and then in high school, yeah, i got to attend a few programs but what about my mental health? i hated the high school education system with a passion, it was and it is clearly not made for us. and everyone apparently knew school failure was pretty common in gifted kids yet no one thought about teaching us how to study. i never once had to seriously study a lot to excel in high school and now that i’m older i’m paying the consequences. i don’t know how to study, i feel dumb whenever it takes me a bit more to understand concepts, i don’t know how to deal with my feelings and my intrusive thoughts, i feel like my brain is always lagging now cuz my mental health keeps taking a toll on me.
i know it’s my responsibility now to fix myself but i just wish they would’ve given us more emotional support in school instead of extra activities. i mean, if you pride yourself in being one of the best of the region in gifted programs, why nobody educated themselves in how to actually deal with gifted kids? when i realised i was right about my feelings being related to my giftedness it literally took a google search and boom! so much information available!

èm pas renduts.
forever in the limbo between "i am human and i need to be loved just like everybody else does", "i have bpd. i have hurt people before and i dont trust neither myself neither them to defend themselves around me" and "i have/am ha/g. people are fucking ridiculous i want to disappear from the face of the earth so i dont have to deal with their dumb fucking ass shit anymore SEEING PEOPLE REALIZE THINGS I HAVE REALIZED OVER TEN TIMES BEFORE IS AGONIZING LET ME OUTTTTTTT"

I think sometimes we forget (or never knew) the overlapping traits between Autism, ADHD, and Giftedness.
