    Hi Everyone!


    I was identified as gifted really late in the game (end of high school), and I am very frustrated by the lack of resources for gifted adults! Aside from Mensa, etc, I haven't been able to find any good programs for this stage of life. Does anyone have any recommendations? I feel like DYS does a great job for kids, but I wish there was something similar for those post-high school. I don't have the funds for additional private testing, so Mensa is out of the question right now, but I do have college degrees, a strong GPA, etc if there are programs that count those types of things as metrics for memberships/services.


    Thanks so much!

    How were you identified as gifted in high school?
    That may help you qualify for American Mensa.
