Story
The future of our society depends on our gifted children - the population in which we'll find our next Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, or Virginia Woolf. Yet the gifts and talents of some of our most brilliant kids may never be recognized because these children fall into a group known as twice exceptional, or "2e". Twice exceptional kids are both gifted and diagnosed with a disability - often ADHD or an autism spectrum disorder - leading teachers and parents to overlook the child's talents and focus solely on his weaknesses.

Very helpful
As a dad of an autistic son, I cannot thank the author enough! Navigating life after the diagnosis is not easy but the book is able to break down the process in a step-by-step guide which is sectioned in an easy to listen format. My hfa son is 7 and currently struggling with boundaries and school, thanks to Maureen we can see a light at the end of the tunnel. If you are needing some advice from another parent who is just like us, then I would recommend you listen to this book.
