I found the following article so interesting, especially since so many gifted kids are intense, and that so many 2E kids are soooo depleted by the end of the day and find it so difficult to do homework especially if the homework is busy work or does not interest them.

I was wondering does anyone have any thoughts? I think that people that have add, Aspergers, gifted spend so much energy on trying to conform (using their willpower, trying to make the right decisions, trying to remain calm, working on work that they do not want to be doing,etc) that they become even more easily frustrated and may become even more intense?
