21. Understanding the Brain Differences of Gifted Kids, with Dr. Matt


Listen Later

When we hear neurodiversity, most of us think of ADHD and autism. But neurodivergence simply means a difference in brain functioning - and that impacts gifted children too. 

So how can we better understand and support our gifted kids?  Today, Dr. Matt joins us to talk about brain differences, emotional roller coasters, social anxiety, and the "Twice Exceptional" profile.

Dr. Matt Zakreski is the Founder and Lead Psychologist at The Neurodiversity Collective.
