Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional SPD and gifted

Thank you for posting this. I have not seen some of the articles. I wish I had seen the article about dentist visits before we went to the dentist.

I wonder how many of these gifted kids with SPD and dyspraxia think camping in a tent and hiking are fun activities. I wonder how many of those kids and parents of those kids get the feeling that most people don't really understand this disorder and feel frustrated that they can't get the help they need. I wonder how many of their parents are like me and turned into helicopter parents when they realized that most people really don't understand this disorder and tried to protect them from ignorant people who call them a wuss or lazy or weak.
