I agree with MON. The HGT teachers understand my 2e (dyslexia) son much better than the traditional teachers. They see quirky kids all the time and they see his intellect despite his poor handwriting and often careless mistakes in math.
Ditto. My DD's GT teacher once said to me, we "get" quirky here and that probably half the kids in the class are some kind of undiagnosed "2e". She often tells me that even though DD struggles with the writing requirements, the GT classroom is the place DD needs to be. She said that a traditional teacher probably would misjudge DD's intellect based on her inability to spell and less than perfect penmanship.
