A common denominator nowadays. And surely not limited to Giftedness. I wonder whether it's because of collective praise of so-called "experts" or whether Giftedness, in particular the debate surrounding it, has also been caught in the crosshairs of Woke monoculture. 50/50, anyone?

The debate has collapsed because inflated diagnostic labels have created a misleading overlap between Giftedness and ASD.

Certainly, take that combined with "not trying to put anyone into specific corner" (from a societal negative view), and you have the perfect mixture of compliance and zero progress...

Precisely correct! Perhaps more will read your books and expand the framework. Out of more than 400 books I found worth reading and applying, your book made the Top Two. Book Therapy - https://georgiapatrick.substack.com/p/book-therapy

Cool! Wonderful to see this Georgia!

Top Two really means a lot. Writing it all down started as a way to bring closure for myself — to make sense of what I had lived and felt. The fact that it resonates with others, sometimes even moves them, because they recognize themselves and realize they’re not alone… that was the whole point. Thank you so much, Georgia.

Yes it's always the best way to hear from experiences. Now it's becoming only again a label. In the past there were no names for giftedness and other ways of thinking. Now you get some capital letters and this one is sounding very intelligent while it has not only to do with IQ. The sad thing is that the coaches think to find a solution; but they haven't because it doesn't work in this society.
