Hi,

GAD is Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It is usually coupled with OCD or obsessive thinking, bi-polar etc. Sometimes it can be caused by a disability and it is usually not singular in nature. Sometimes it can even be seasonal. Many gifted children have emotional and behavioral disorders which are frequently exacerbated by giftedness and can be disabling. What is RTI? I am feeling dumb here and need acronym clarifications... Really....! BB
