Nope. Just kept bringing them more and more refined data about the needs (both E's) and stuck to it until my kids had reasonable educational plans.

I never heard the phrase "twice exceptional" mentioned in my district until there was a major change in personnel at the top. Now it's a known thing. I still use "academically gifted and having disabilities" when I'm talking to lay people or even some teachers-- you never know who will become aware if you actually explain to people.
