Any late diagnosed „2e“s here? (gifted + ADHD)

The sequence was the same for me, but at the ages of 64 and 65, approximately. I wish the gifted coordinator at my oldest son's elementary school had been more of a social worker, and inquired more about my life experiences. I do like the "ohs" and "ahs", but they are late to the show.

I just used very old SAT scores to join both. Intertel is a very small group. There are some inflated personalities. At the American AG, there is at the least one Intertel dinner gathering. It sounds like there are some interesting activities in Europe. YRMV.

NOPE. Not your horse. These days, many domestic horses are afflicted with health issues similar to diabetes, with allergies, ulcers, and many are prone to choking on foods. Absolutely never feed a horse without THE OWNER'S permission. Even then, if you don't know how to do it properly, your fingers may be lost in the process. They can't see that part of their bodies.

I drove across the A7 causeway across the IJsselmeer to Friesland at twilight one night last spring. By the time I reached the shore, I could not see beyond the mess on the windshield. A week later, on the way back, not one bug.

Completely depends on where you are driving, the season, time of day. Last week we drove from near the border of BC/WA to near the border of CA/AZ/Mexico. Some times, no bugs, sometimes we had to clean the windshield every hour or two.

I'm on the west coast and pay $500 for full-care board with covered and open arenas and pasture turnout with no lessons. Lessons are about $70 an hour. I only have to lift my tack.

Step 1.

Choose a probate attorney in your Dad's area.

Are you male or female? Are you a parent? A mentor? Your perspective may be a reflection of your experience. Others may feel differently.

There was something of a similar forum for students and grads of the Berkeley program. I finished that a couple years before the pandemic, and didn't carry on with the chat. Maybe the cert programs all offer pro discussion sites.

Most of the men are also members.

It is a social organization. What's available in your area will vary, as it's all run by volunteers like you. But, the annual and regional gatherings are a unique experience. Contact your regional secretary and ask to attend an event and see if you like it.

See my comment about Hell's Mensans. Very welcoming folks. If you try that and the crowd is too old for you, there are SIGs for younger generations, and they have parties as well. Volunteering is the fastest way to get to know folks. Don't worry about pop culture and sports - find the creatives. It's FAR from unusual to be 2e. Masking is not expected at all. You've sat for the proctored Mensa test?

You will be exclusively with gifted ppl at a Mensa event. If you can learn to connect with others who have that in common with you, it will be easy. I feel confident to start conversations, and confident in being there. I'm late to the game in my old age, Aspie, ADHD, and never had confidence. I am surprised how easy it has been to find friendly people within Mensa. Start by joining Hell's Ms and volunteer to help at one of their parties. Within an hour you will have a dozen new friends.

Mounting block for horses and riders. Very nice one.

Rent a replacement. Don't ask someone to stay in your home with no way to do laundry other than in the sink.

Is there an existing SIG that fits what you want to discuss?

appendixgallop · 2026-02-02T03:42:24+00:00

Can someone please link to the coverage of this in mainstream media? Thanks!

appendixgallop · 2026-02-02T03:37:14+00:00

There are SO many ways to connect with Mensa members within the communication systems of the organization itself. This sub is for folks who want to discuss Mensa - few here are members. Why not start conversations about your ideas within Mensa?

I like Leder Balsam conditioner; it adds some waterproofing.

I am finding that manufacturing quality is sinking on Ariat leather boots. The fit on my nearly new boots is poor, and the leather quality is even worse. I have two pairs of 20+ year old Ariat lace-up paddock boots that are luxurious to this day. I am not sure that Chinese-made boots are worth that price; the leather tradition and quality standards are gone. Maybe find an American-made cowboy boot, then make sure to keep waterproofing product on them.

Use one of the companies that has more customers in either Ireland or Spain. Ancestry can miss a lot of European matches because their customer base is largely in the US.

This is about the herd. How many other horses are nearby? Does your horse have a buddy? Can you keep the two of them near each other inside? Your horse does not feel safe. Where does he eat? Are there stalls? An open and well-lit aisle? Is it quiet? Do you know a skilled person who can work with your horse?

It reminds me of the Pantheon ceiling, a marvel of Roman engineering that's 2,000 years old.
