It seems to me that some children feel more comfortable inside their own skin with Stimulant medication than without. As a parent that's what I'm looking for. Having great big ideas and not enough power to explore them is a particular pain. Looking at agepeers and concluding that one just isn't that smart actually can have long reaching negative effects.
My other insight is that similarly to how gifted children seem normal to gifted parents because the apple didn't fall far from the family tree.....2e kids seem normal to 2e parents...but that doesn't mean that they aren't 2e.
