Seriously! I am really perplexed as how getting a gifted neurotypical child a fake diagnosis would get him/her anything!!! It barely gets the kids that actually HAVE a dx anything but prejudices, biases and false assumptions!

And I'd really like to know how a dx would be a kid's ticket into a gifted program! Almost all of the parents I know don't think 2e children exist or belong in a gifted program and it seems like an AWFUL lot of educators and admins feel the same way... Perhaps OP is some other country or something and the other poster who said a dx on her daughter's chart would be an "open sesame" for her... but they sure as hell aren't in my district.
