Thanks for stopping by. I created this site after learning why my son had been bullied & excluded since age five. It took three years to find out – mostly because of long-standing myths. That's far too long, so now I'm on a mission to help others. I explain what "the G word" is &, just as important, what it isn't. With the help of many experts, you'll also see tips for navigating this type of neurodiversity. Join me as I share what I'm learning.

Instagram post 2176333816774719073_10025046666 On Monday, when I described the psychomotor intensity, I said that 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 “𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱” 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, they appear to "𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻" & 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿-𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀. . That laser focus is the child’s intellectual intensity on display. 𝗡𝗼𝘄, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀! And if you mess with a topic they’re passionate about, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗱𝘆𝘀𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 may make appearances, too. . 𝗜 𝘀𝗮𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 when I picked my son up from school early for a dentist appt. Unbeknownst to me, his class was just about to start an electricity experiment he’d “been waiting on all week.” 🔌 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 – even as a toddler. He was so distraught that, if someone had witnessed it, they seriously would have thought a close friend or family member had just died. (Thankfully, he at least held himself together until he got into the SUV, but it went on so long that we almost missed the appointment.) 😳 . Kids with the intellectual overexcitability (OE) have 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆. They also 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀, like puzzles, brainteaser toys & strategy games. 🃏 . In addition, they’re 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀, constantly taking in – and analyzing – the world around them. 🕵️‍♂️ (When my son was three, his preschool teacher wondered if he’d become an architect someday. She said that during recess, he studied features of the building while all the other kids were running around.) 😂📐 . I could go on for a long time about this OE, but 𝗜’𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 with it. (I 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 some of you have stories of your own!) ☺️ . #intellectualintensity #intellectualoverexcitability #overexcitabilities #kazimierzdabrowski #misunderstood #giftedkids #giftedandtalentededucation #igteachers #schoolcounselor #schoolpsychologist #schoolsocialworker #schooladministrator #slp #childpsychology #ch
Instagram post 2175645879271557429_10025046666 Remember how I said yesterday that the psychomotor intensity can seem like ADHD in many ways? Well, hang on to your hat, because countless people misconstrue 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭 overexcitabilities (OEs) as a sign of autism. . That’s because “kite kids” with this intensity have 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀. You know: sight, sound, smell, taste & touch. . Children with a sensual OE may be particularly sensitive to pollution, or get sick from the smell or texture of certain foods. In addition, they may be very averse to clothing labels & most socks. 👕🧦 Or become dysregulated in noisy environments, like lunch rooms or school buses. 🚍 . On the flip side, however, these kiddos find more joy than most children in certain sensory experiences. For some, art & music that they enjoy can touch them on a very deep level. 🎨🎼. They also may crave mama snuggles at older ages than the typical kid. 🤗 . Parents, therapists & others, what examples of the sensual OE have 𝘺𝘰𝘶 seen? 💁 . #teachersofinstagram #igteachers #schoolcounselor #schoolpsychologist #schoolsocialworker #schooladministrator #assistantprincipal #slp #childpsychology #childtherapy #playtherapy #misdiagnosis #highfunctioningautism #pediatricians #occupationaltherapist #smartbutstruggling #socialemotionallearning #overexcitabilities #intensities #dabrowski #kitekidmamas #giftededucation #giftedandtalented #specialneedschildren #sensoryprocessingdisorder #neuroscience #neurodiversity
Instagram post 2175022106398695485_10025046666 In the 1960s, Polish psychologist Kazimierz Dabrowski studied kids with higher-than-average intellect. As he was doing so, he began to realize that 𝘢𝘭𝘭 of them had 𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 when it came to their interests & other aspects of everyday life. He called these phenomenons overexcitabilities. (Two other present-day terms you may hear are “intensities” or “supersensitities.”) . Regardless of which term you use, Dabrowski concluded that 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀; subsequent research has confirmed their existence. . Some “kite kids” (I prefer this to “gifted”) have all five intensities; others have fewer. But 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲. . Kite kids with 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 have higher-than-normal levels of energy. This can take the form of: . - fidgetiness - sleeplessness - nonstop talking - competitiveness - compulsive organizing - nervous habits & tics - impulsive behavior . Sound like ADHD? I know. Here’s the difference: . 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿-𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀. In fact, it's hard to get them to switch gears. They may even pitch a fit if you try due to the intellectual overexcitability (OE). Do you know a child with the psychomotor intensity? Which examples have you seen in him or her? . #teachersofinstagram #igteachers #schoolcounselor #schoolpsychologist #schoolsocialworker #schooladministrator #assistantprincipal #slp #childpsychology #childtherapy #playtherapy #misdiagnosis #pediatricians #smartbutstruggling #socialemotionallearning #overexcitabilities #intensities #dabrowski #kitekidmamas #giftededucation #giftededucationprogram #neuroscience #neurodiversityatwork
Instagram post 2174510589375073884_10025046666 If you didn’t see this morning’s post, this week, I’m going to focus on acute intensities (also called "overexcitabilities" & "supersensitivities"). . I hope you’ll follow along for examples of what these can "look" like. They're often misconstrued as everything from being overly sensitive or having bad behavior to mental disorders or just plain being "over the top" about everything. . For a sneak peek at the five types, see the Overexcitabilities page on my blog. There’s also a link to it in my Instagram smart bio. ☺ . #dabrowski #overexcitability #kitekidmamas #differentlywired #brightandquirky #raisingpoppies #raisinghoagies #giftedkids #2e #twiceexceptionalkids #teachersofinstagram #igteachers #schoolcounselor #schoolpsychologist #schoolsocialworker #schooladministrator #slp #childpsychology #childtherapy #playtherapy #misdiagnosis #adhd #oppositionaldefiancedisorder #bipolardisorder #pediatricians #smartbutstruggling #smartbutscattered #socialemotionallearning
Instagram post 2174202114682078239_10025046666 Early last month, I began to have a strong sense that 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴. My nine-year-old was displaying a combination of over-the-top jokester behavior & an unusually intense need for his BFF (Rudolph). And as fast as my son can be when he's running late, 𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 "𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀" 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀. 🚌 . No matter what question I asked or how delicately I asked it, 𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘀 "𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲." I knew it wasn't, but I had nothing else to go on, even after talking with his teachers. 👩‍🏫 . Last Sunday, after playing at a neighbor's house, my son finally spilled the beans. He came home because another kid showed up & began 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝗺. (The kid literally changed the rules of the game they were playing, so this behavior would be okay.) "𝗪𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀," he said. ☹ . Not surprisingly, this boy had been 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀. Mocking him, stealing his bike, & even punching him in the face (also okay because of a "new game rule"). 👊 . Once again, I find myself painfully aware 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 -- 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 -- 𝗮𝗿𝗲 when it comes to the G word. 🔍 . 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 I'll explain how this type of 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 can "look" when it comes to 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 that a Polish psychologist dubbed "overexcitabilities." 𝗜 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴. 🙏 . #stopbullying #madeformore #misunderstood #neurodiversity #2e #twiceexceptional #kitekidmamas #differentlywired #brightandquirky #raisingpoppies #raisinghoagies #giftedkids #giftededucationprogram #teachersofinstagram #igteachers #schoolcounselor #schoolpsychologist #schoolsocialworker #schooladministrator #slp #childpsychology #childtherapy #playtherapy #pediatricians #smartbutstruggling #socialemotionallearning #overexcitabilities #dabrowski #williamsloanecoffin

Instagram post 2172941660747817223_10025046666 I'm not going to sugar coat it. It's scary as hell to put myself out there like this. To publicly share so much of my son's (and my family's) struggles. 😬 However, I hope that by doing so, teachers, therapists, pediatricians & others will come to better understand these differently-wired kiddos. And their moms, who struggle mightily, too; often in silence because of “the G word.” #madeformore #doitscared #mythysaboutgiftedness #challengesofgiftedness #bullied #excluded #lonely #kitekidmamas #differentlywired #brightandquirky #raisingpoppies #raisinghoagies #giftedandtalented #2e #twiceexceptionalkids #teachersofinstagram #igteachers #schoolcounselor #schoolpsychologist #schoolsocialworker #schooladministrator #slp #childpsychology #childtherapy #playtherapy #misdiagnosis #pediatricians #smartbutstruggling #socialemotionallearning @johnmayer
Instagram post 2172678154211501220_10025046666 Just after my son turned eight, we attended a party that a classmate’s family was having for all the rising third graders. As we were leaving & thanking the parents for inviting us, my son asked the hostess about a large map on her wall. It was the type that showed where her family had been on their travels. . 🌍 “You aren’t going to North Korea, right?” he asked her with concern. (By this point, “the G word” had been mentioned, but not confirmed.) . As a look of confusion appeared on her face, I realized this wasn’t something an eight-year-old would typically say. I joked that, the previous year, he’d heard how one of their soldiers, who escaped to South Korea, had worms in his digestive track & my son never forgot it. .🐛. #parasiticworms #aintnoonegottimeforthat #2e #twiceexceptionalkids #neurodiversity #differentlywired #kitekidmamas #brightandquirky #raisingpoppies #raisinghoagies #teachersofinstagram #igteachers #schoolcounselor #schoolpsychologist #schoolsocialworker #schooladministrator #slp #socialsmarts #childpsychology #childtherapy #playtherapy #pediatrician #smartbutstruggling #sociallyawkward #socialemotionallearning #socialemotionaldevelopement
Instagram post 2172089406763436850_10025046666 In one of Michelle Garcia Winner’s 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 webinars, she shows a photo of her dad standing in an outdoor market. He’s the only person in the photo, but you also can see his surroundings. She explains how, unlike most of us, whose eyes would automatically focus on him, people with “𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀” 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘀 don’t necessarily do so. Instead, they may be drawn to the flowers on his left or a second-story window on the beautiful, old building behind him. . And 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗸𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗗𝗛𝗗 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗺. . As you can tell from the 2𝘦: 𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘌𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 quote above, these social smarts deficits can go further than this, too. Someone can be 𝘀𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 that they dissect common prompts beyond what anyone would expect. . Kite kids, as I call “gifted” kids, are 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀, constantly taking in – and analyzing – the world around them. Their minds never stop. . Am I saying all G-word or 2e kids have this much difficulty with social interaction? Absolutely not. 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁. However, we all need to take a big step back & really understand how deep these 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 can go. . In 𝘈 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵’𝘴 𝘎𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘎𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯, the authors talk about how incredibly different everyday life is for “G word” kids. The authors say it’s like “𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗶𝘁-𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵.” (Not just in school, but everywhere, all the time.) . What’s more, these 𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗿-𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗼𝘀 continually have question after question running through their minds. It can feel 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀“𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁” & filter out the input they should ignore. To learn more, read 𝗺𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲.

Instagram post 2171398040829366668_10025046666 During car rides, my kids tend to read, play one of the games in their car-seat organizers, or ask me questions about things I couldn’t possibly know the answer to. (Kite kid mamas, can I get an amen?) 😅 . Anyway, one of the activities my kids love is cat’s cradle, especially my budding engineer. (According to Wikipedia, it’s 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆!) 🏰 . . There are instruction booklets you can buy that come with string. The challenges kept them busy when they were figuring out each design, but even after mastering them, they continue to make them on a regular basis. Given how long cat’s cradle has been around, I guess you could call it the original fidget toy! 🌀 . . What are some ways to extend this activity? Teachers, are there any TpT products out there? 🤷 . #catscradle #teachersofinstagram #igteachers #schoolcounseling #schoolsocialworkers #schooladministrators #slp #childpsychology #childtherapy #playtherapy #misdiagnosis #pediatricians #smartbutstruggling #kitekidmamas #socialemotionallearning #stemkids #teacherspayteachers #tpt #teachersoftpt #tptteachers

Instagram post 2170143927305594802_10025046666 My kite kid hasn't liked art for quite some time, but at a "young scholars" summer camp, he took an origami class & LOVED it. Now it's everywhere in our house! 😅 He says he enjoys it because it's like engineering. My daughter, who loves everything art-related, is a big fan too. 🎨 . #origami #kitekidmamas #STEMkids #engineering #teachersofinstagram #igteachers #schoolcounseling #schoolsocialworkers #schooladministrators #slp #childpsychology #childtherapy #misdiagnosis #pediatricians #smartbutstruggling #socialemotionallearning #origamiart #paperfolding #makers #makered #makereducation #artteachersofinstagram
