I did create the term 'ND' to mean 'normally developing' instead of 'not gifted' because I specifically wanted a term for kids who DO NOT have asynchronous development, and do things the way the book says. Some of these kids will grow up to be brillient and do amazing things, but to all appearances as children, they are within the cultural expectations of 'normal development.'
So in fact, I think if folks are using the term ND as I intended, there is at least a 'poster' if not a poster child for ND.
On one hand, if we look for something we find it. OTOH, we have 'extra sensitive' receptors, so sometimes we find stuff we weren't looking for and feel weird, then relieved when things come to light. I used to think that I had a special detector of 'elephants in the living room.' That seems to have calmed down now that I'm friends with my own elephant (my gifted brain)
Thanks for posting CFK - I love to read what you write.
