Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion playwright researching - raised gifted son

Since my project is bringing the issue of neglected gifted children to American audiences, my sources are people who catch this vision and mission. Such sources realize that the assistance of such writings is not exploitive. Such writings would not be replicated verbatim and would simply inspire the character's voice. Our society needs to get into the heads of our gifted and understand their world and suffering,to look out through the eyes of the child.
My son, 14 years ago, did not write his thoughts down. He will help the project by retrospective thoughts but this is not the same as a child expressing in the moment.
Thank you to anyone who wishes to share for this much needed voice on the American stage. ---San
