I just came from a neurocognitive assesment a few days ago where it was very nearly impossible to explain to the psychologist what gifted means. He kept explaining to me that my scores were "high average to superior" and therefore "fine". the fact is that they should all have been "superior to very superior" and therfore I have some damage from the strokes... so, not fine.
Sometimes, it is hardest to explain myself so someone who is a bit bright, because they "identify" with me and therefore do not understand me at all. I am someone in the range of crazy smart, ok? The kind who got pulled out of school into the special program because we couldn't function in a regular classroom? yeah, the wierd ones.
So, when I try to explain to the doctors what is going on with me, chances are that I am right. Chances are, that I have read the same articles as them, or more likely, more articles than them, because I am at home, sick with Epilepsy and Lupus, and freaking out about being sick. So, listen to me, and put your ego away, and don't get all offended. (Nice theory, huh?)
