Especially for discouraged adolescents. Ive had with women across the country who have shared their feelings about ADD, disorganization, and how it affects their lives. I think there's definitely a subset of gifted people who overlap highly with autistic people. Actually, one of the more interesting things I've done is sit down with a description of autism and a description of gifted traits and compare notes. Sensory hypersensitivities are common in both.
Emotional sensitivity is common in both giftedness and autism.
Extremely focussed thought, whether in language, or outside of language, is characteristic of autism and giftedness, as is early development of some form of logic. Picky eating common to both. They're too connected for that.
