I had read an article on overexcitability and gifted students on SENG. I wondered if many parents of gifted teens find the same issues during these years regarding what seems like inflated emotional reponses to everyday teen issues. It sometimes seems like my teen is quick to argue, loose his temper, and become hurt or sensitive over coments that seem to take him over the threshold.
He has also been dx ADHD over a year ago. It seems like the medication helped him focus and concentrate on longer tasks. My hunch with our current issues seem to lead me to Dabrowski's work on overexcitabilities of gifted students with a combination of ADHD.
Has anyone else experienced similar thoughts?
