playwright researching - raised gifted son - 10/16/08 01:51 AM
Hello,
I joined this forum today as part of my research for a two-act drama I'm writing. I raised a gifted son whose public school years, before high school, were horrific, was denied services for his giftedness, and was consequently labeled emotionally disturbed. He is now successful,27,and earning a Ph.d in Renaissance/Medieval Lit. I am seeking journal and stream-of-consciousness writings of gifted children, ages 10-12, who have emotional disturbances and anxiety disorders due to inadequate education. I am not sure how to procure these writings. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks, San
