b"The conversation around twice exceptionality has advanced a lot in the past few years but there still exists substantial resistance and misunderstanding about what it means to be 2e. As my guest today, Julie Skolnick, writes about in her new book Gifted and Distractible, it\\u2019s a widely held misconception that intellectual ability and social and emotional success go hand in hand. Which is why kids who are gifted and have simultaneous learning differences like ADHD, Autism, or dyslexia\\u2014are often not fully seen and supported by parents, teachers, and themselves.\\nIn a world where these complex learners are often labeled lazy, scattered, attention-seeking, and a problem that can\\u2019t be solved, I am totally behind Julie\\u2019s mission to passionately guide parents of gifted and distractible children to bring out the best and raise self-confidence in their 2e kids. And in today\\u2019s conversation, she shares some of her best insights and ideas about how we can reimagine the world through our child\\u2019s unique perspective\\u2014so we can help them thrive.\\nHer book, Gifted and Distractible: Understanding, Supporting, and Advocating for Your Twice Exceptional Child, literally comes out the day this episode is released!
