On The Hard Days

Ep.30 Mom Stephanie Smith on Normalizing Asynchronous Development in Gifted Kids


Listen Later

Stephanie Smith has a gifted, learning-disabled child. Relatable? Twice Exceptionality is the focus of our talk, as Stephanie brings just the right amount of blunt realness to make you vigorously shake your head and say - "That's my kid!" (Or at least I did that, multiple times.)

We talk ALL about raising 2E, neurodiverse kids. Specifically, we focus on:
-Recognizing the gifts in neurodiverse people
-Society has set the parameters for "normal" - but it doesn't have to be that way
-High intelligence may only be in certain areas, and that's okay
-"Find the gold in your kid!"
