I am about to be in gifted can somebody tell me what it’s like

I can relate.... You end up feeling like an Outsider. Silly people ridicule what they don't understand, and call you different. Sad ppl

At times I Just wish giftedness was not such a taboo. I wish i wasn't supposed to feel guilty of thriving. I wish "society" wouldn't dismiss us as "bragging" when we really are not, and also dismiss us when we're complaining about our very real problem. When I entered middle School I had high hopes. I hoped in the School I was going to I would be actually able to make real friends, because There would be other kids like me, and they would understand me, and the teachers would too. I was told I was wrong, That I had absurd expectations, That others gifted kids were well integrated, That Giftedness doesn't really matter except for getting good grades and good grades are undeserved when you're gifted, That I was privilèged, That my comportment was wrong, That I was annoying and That no one cared about my "uninteresting" interests. That I should make an effort to be normal like everyone else, and That I should pass unremarked. I was bullied. Nah, harassed. Bullied is not strong enough of a term. Bullies told me I was alone, friendless, and That I should kill myself already. What I've lived through no one should have to live it.I'm in 12th grade, and I've just discovered I'd been lied to. That I wasted 5 years of my life believing lies. I discovered many other kids in my class were gifted, That they were my friends, and That they were definitely as quirky and socially awkward as me, because quirks and awkwardness come from overexcitablities, dyssynchronia and think process différences, and are characteristics of giftedness. That giftedness definitely matters in life, and That you Can talk about it with concerned friends. That they all have actually interesting interests That they talk about when between them, and That they really are more than the "normal Person" façade they put on. That we are actually sharing jokes together, That I get them and That they Are actually funny. That most of them were bullied in middle School, because of their différences, and thought they were the only ones because that's what they were told. That they told the teacher once they were happy That I was finally talking to them. I discovered I was not uninteresting as I was told. That I can actually have friends. And That I didn't have to adapt one bit to "the Real world", because Real friends only like the Real you. With quirks and all.This Is knowledge no gifted Child should be denied.

This happened to me I have HSP (extrovert) and Irlens syndrome...took 56 years to get it right, and have been through hell dealing with arrogant inept idiots that thought I was too stupid to understand how I felt and that it was all in my head.

Here you are now proving there’s light at the end of the tunnel!

Oh my God you describe my personality as a child 🥺 I remember a lot of bright lights whenever I try to remember a past memory

I started talking when I was 3 months old. I started reading when I was 8 months old. When I was 3 years old I already knew how to read and write fluently, sum up, take away, the rivers, the countries, the presidents, the scientists, and before I was 5 I already had my own thoughts about reality, society, drugs, war and even death. When I was at school I was most of my time alone in the playground. I felt forced to be there and I had a huge weight on my shoulders. It felt like hell. I had great marks but started failing and getting into real trouble. A huge depression and phobias, anger... I finished school in the end even though I failed 7 subjects on my last year. I studied 4 degrees (couldn't finish them in the end), I understand 8 languages at different levels. I had a couple of jobs and again I had trouble there and couldn't fit in... After several years of complete isolation and depression I found my passion and my reason to live. I'm a voice actress, writer, photographer, artist, composer and I study mathematics and physics among other things on my free time. I do know my IQ (done the Weschler and orientative Mensa test as well) but I really don't care much about it. I don't believe a bunch of numbers define us. Only our thoughts and actions and fighting for what makes us push forward is what matters.

I was coded with a learning disability when I was a child, despite acing tests after I appeared to be playing rocket ship with my pencil during lessons. No one identified me as a gifted child or a 2e child, I didn't know I was a gifted child until my 30s, and I just discovered the term twice exceptional at 42 years of age. How has this knowledge evaded me and my family for so long?

This line of reasoning is very valid and worth considering. That is to say, we must see those who may defined as gifted as individual with special needs.

I had some of the problems you talk about in this video. I figured out computer programming at 9 years old by reading manuals, but nothing in school made sense. I was thought to be gifted, but was totally lost in the gifted classes. But I did start my own business providing computer applications, so I must have learned something in school in the long run. I think I just had some learning curves that got in the way when I was a kid.

That might be true if you come to say you're profoundly gifted, I dont see how it's a curse for the moderate gifted - the ones who barerly pass the perimeter in giftedness causing them more trouble than functional life with lesser disturbances. I've read many comments featuring your idea of it being cursed, have seen responses to those comments aswell such as (I feel guilty for not being gifted) in return the gifted person says - (Dont worry you arent missing much, it's more of an issue than a gift) Its as if you're all embedded into the idea of owning giftedness, (My life is determinated by how gifted I am) + shouldn't gifted people be slower by the excruciating pressure mental disorders depression issues going on in your life or you must think substance addiction brain foginess unhygienic life style dosnt affect any of you due to the intensity of your giftedness.

Could this also be the reason I am so emotionally charged a lot of the time in stressful situations? I was accepted into California's GATE program a year or two before I had to move to another state. I was apparently 'too old' for the new state's Gifted tests, and the GATE assessment didn't pass over because of some arbitrary bullshit. Unsurprisingly, middle school is where everything started going downhill for me. In contrast to some of the wonderful stories you hear sometimes about kids who graduate early, I wasn't given the help I needed. No one 'caught on' to the realization that I couldn't make it in school. Even the psychiatrist I ended up seeing for three years didn't catch on- and I told her about the GATE program. I'm a dropout now, and there's almost nothing to do. I'm in a rut in life, and I can wholeheartedly blame my middle school experience for it.

Oh my god this reminds me of my primary school days lol my teacher Mr.Henry was always puzzled with why I was so defiant and refused to do the work when he knew I could. It was boring lol

i've been reading about this a lot recently, and it seems like i might have this. a lot of articles and things mentioned being bothered by the seams on socks, and tags, both of those have always bothered me a lot. when i was little i spent a lot of time adjusting my socks so that the seam wouldn't bother me. as well, i cannot use super soft tissues, and prefer rough ones, because the texture of tissues for some reason makes me extremely uncomfortable and bothers me. also, i get very exited over different smells, or recognizing one, or if i have a piece of fabric or something that i like the texture of, i'll hold on to it and use as a crutch in public situations

without listening through this, gonna say gifted is close to the spectrum

Excellent. I know assorted geniuses. All different. All strange in fascinating ways. Let them be themselves.

😭 the sense of relief after seeing this video is overwhelming me. This is me (2e)

I'm gifted in English, math and history but I have a speech and wrinting disorder. I tend to leave out words or talk to fast that no one will understand me and my sister would have to translate. Plus I have both asthma and allergies. I am very sensitive to loud nioses and people say it just anxiety which I admit I have but I think there is more to the iceberg. I took speech classes during math and gifted English in English. Nobody taught me comma or clauses or semi colon cuase I had to do speech class and advanced English. Mutiple time I would cry myself to sleep be cuase of stress and it's all because of being " gifted". Being gifted has more cons than pros which leads to mental disoders and trouble but it's just because of how they are being taught.

(I am a 'gifted' child on here) This is very true, luckily I have been accelerated three years in education, and at age 11, am in senior school (and extension) :). I would say these attributes are true; I am quite sensitive to some things, I got really bored in school (hence acceleration), etc. I am not _that_ extreme in terms of sensitivity, allergies (none) asthma (none) etc. though haha

Yes, but, in schools You don't always have the choice. I spend nearly all of my classes reading or scribbling etcætera, but not all teachers accepted it. The worst are teachers who think You can't multitask, and if i'm doing something else i mustn't be listening (though teachers end up surprised when they ask what they Just said to prove i'm not listening, and I answer right). And even if your teachers are accepting, You may feel like you're wasting your time in schools scribbling when You could do so much more, including actually Learning things, like you're supposed to do in schools...

When I was a child, I didn't have friends. I have depression, OCPD, and I'm socially awkward. My perfectionism affects my video game playing, as I'm either resetting save files or methodically planning every step as I progress. In high school, I excelled in science and mathematics, but I failed English and history. I have never needed to use a calculator. I loved learning, but I wasn't being challenged enough. At the age of 16, I took 3 IQ tests over the course of about 9 months. My results were 135, 124, 115, in that order. I was very confused about these test scores. Over the years, I have been systematically improving my ability to write and articulate my advanced knowledge of physics. When I first read about giftedness I was shocked to discover that a gifted person taking a standardized test is not unlike an adult taking a test for children, exaggerated by common core. Today, I'm preparing to write a scientific paper, inspired by a recurring nightmare.

I know this is a bit late, the iq test that I have taken with my psychologist was much higher than the 135 that you scored. I will not say how.much bcs of some reasons. I have not shown any abilities like yours. I was not that good at math and science. I did not display any "gifted" ability at all , but I scored really high. I have seen many people with lower iq than mine be able to do many things that I just cant. My point is that I believe that even if you have really high iq and another person has lower iq than you, it does not mean that you will be better. I see it like potential that may or may not manifest. I scored in the 99.99 percentile but I did not manifest any special ability. But a friend of mine that scored 130 is much better at science and math.

(Not trying to be one of those people who act super smart for attention, just saying some people are different, especially with sensory stuffs)

Hmmmm...in my experience, the ASD message here is indeed to the detriment of children. Students whose parents want to make the ASD experience fall under the umbrella of their Gifted experience...these kids suffer the most! With ASD interventions in place, so much of the sensory, the intensity, and rigidity can be coped with in a healthy manner through appropriate interventions. Don't turn away from the diagnosis, saying that it is the Giftedness that creates the appearance of ASD. This is to the child's detriment, not only today, but into all the future days when the parent will no longer be here... The diagnosis is just the ticket for the legal right to the interventions the child needs and deserves. I've witnessed it set my son free. And, as a Gifted teacher (based on full scale IQ 130+), I've witnessed some of my Gifted students suffer through each day of school because they don't have the interventions needed to address the ASD aspect of their genuine being. That's why I ran, not walked, to get my son the diagnosis when I saw the very same attributes in him. And the interventions for ASD have not affected his Gifted IQ in the least, it has just set him free from the sensory, the intensity, the rigidity chains that bound him. It didn't remove them, but it allowed him to proceed through life with healthy ways to cope. He is now flexible, he now has tools to deal with sensory overload that actually work, he has words to express the intensity so we can work on it externally, not just suffer from it internally. Obviously our life is never close to perfect, but oh how I wish I could give my students with Giftedness plus undiagnosed ASD these same chances. But I can't, because the parents don't want to inquire further about the ASD possibility. This is speaking through my experience, my truth, as both a human with a family full of amazing and precious Aspies plus a teacher of the genuinely Gifted.

You NEED to take into account that they may just NOT be interested in something too :) i know when teachers tried to teach me Handwriting and Math honestly i just wasn't too interested in it, i've been on and off with Khan Academy which i'm doing well on and i feel like i need to learn to at least High School Math because that's the level you at least need in our society but truthfully i find it daunting and boring, with Handwriting same thing i don't WANT to Handwrite and i honestly prefer Typing and Computers i'm a super quick typer :) finding out i'm more of a Visual Learner it also makes sense why and Visual Learners need more time, more Creative and Fun things to do, they're a lot more prone to Creative and Critical Thinking and they need more Visual Things to look at and copy to Practise and Learn. For instance i've decided to try and improve my Handwriting just a little bit anyways i just started a few days ago and even if i'm DEFINITELY not gonna go into Cursive cos there's just SO many curves, turns and lines to remember *yawn* i can at least improve my signature and my regular writing a tiny bit which is just separate letters, i tried this weird scribble for a while but it sucked LOL but all i'm doing is simply copying it from some pictures examples, in School they didn't give me anything to copy and just expected me to know what they were on about i THINK they drew something on the Blackboard but i just couldn't get it down i didn't understand what they meant by "Writing straight" LOL i didn't understand till NOW (years later), that it's easier to just simply look at how most of the letters go up to the middle between the line u start on and the line above it. if they would have said it like "Look how the small letters go up to the middle line" and "Look at the C Shape of some of the letters and how it goes to the middle line" and then tell me to copy how those letters are i might have actually got it, but honestly after about 2 hours of on and off writing my brain starts to hurt and i really hate it :( i defo would have NEVER have improved at something i hate EVER, it wasn't the experience but i'm just NOT interested and that's VERY important to Acknowledge, not ALL smart ppl are interested in Math and Handwriting despite preconceived notions they may be more Creative instead :) Thankfully the Primary i went to didn't force me to keep doing Handwriting classes but the month at least i was doing it i hated it HUGELY, but not understanding a lot of things back then about myself or much of anything about how things are or the world i didn't even understand WHY things were SO important you CAN'T LOL :P so Acknowledge what everyone's interests are whether Kids, Teens or Adults that you teach will help a lot as to WHAT to teach them and what NOT to.

When Smart/gifted children are bored because Teacher is helping Students catchup. Bored Smart Students will add classroom distraction.

School is just there to teach us to take orders, to follow schedules set for us by our superiors, and to make sure we learn to act relatively normal so we are employable and useful without being too self reliant or forward thinking so we cause problems. School isn’t there to teach us to think or be happy: that’s crazy! Plus there’s such a long precedent of ignoring bored smart kids, wouldn’t it be best to just stick with tradition?

I'm in 12th grade and my hand regularly overheats and ceases functionning in the middle of exams. I can't even hold a pen after That. And I end up writing half as many pages as others, even though I spend more time. However, I'm fascinated by writing, and calligraphy and other alphabet always interested me. But when I have to write, I Just can't,

Only certain people are "gifted" in a medical/psychological sense. Gifted doesn't always mean you are smarter or have a higher IQ.

I am gifted my bf is gifted and our son is gifted definitely more on my level than his sister my son was calling me by my first name at 10 months old Ericka he also knew more about the solar system than I did at the age of 2 at 9 he is into manifesting, energy, the earth, universe meditation this is a kid who has non stop questions wants to know how much water is in the ocean by weight Kilograms down to grams this kid wants details about details and will make up a random question about air just to get answers he is so curious about everything. His teacher wants to place him in GATE. Which lead me here, just a over protective mom doing some research.

I am the greatest and most gifted human in the universe. Bow to me. 😂

All kids are special but not all kids are gifted. You have to take a four hour exam and your IQ has to be higher than the average persons IQ. As a gifted child myself i can say that the children in regular education learn way differently than kids classified as a gifted child. If you put a regular educated child in a gifted class they will suffer its the same if you put a gifted child in regular education.

Agree with Adriana - and the mindset that all kids are gifted (as defined by professionals in psychology and education) actually can cause damage to those who don't have special needs addressed because of that mindset. But I also agree that all children are special.

The term "Gifted" is an unfortunate one that stuck. You're correct, all children have gifts. "Gifted" is a psychologically defined term that cannot and should not be used on all children.

All children have gifts, but not all children are intellectually gifted.

The best way to summarize gifted children is that their brains and development are different than the average person. Gifted kids tend to figure out the world and outside skills such as reading and science while their peers are learning social skills and emotional intelligence. Gifted kids learn these things later in life, albeit a lot differently because at that point you're expected to have social skills figured out when you're 20.
