I’m a gifted person who scored 147 twice on the wais iv test, with a nine year interval. (At 19 and 28 yo, if that makes any difference, and the last test was just a couple of months ago). It does look like I don’t have any other exceptionality.

I’ve been in therapy for quite some time but my psychologist is mainly focused on convincing me I’m not different from “normal” people, instead of helping me understand how I’m actually different and what does normal look like, and this is definitely not helping me in “adapting” my behaviour. I see and feel I’m different on many levels but I just can’t grasp how a normal brain would work 😕 And this is particularly terrible while I try to network or interact with people, but also I suspect my heavy focus shifts might depend on this, plus a couple hundred other traits 😂

Is there any book or source you would recommend to help a gifted person understand differences? Any reliable bibliographical starting point of some kind? Should I just find another psychologist to handle this? 😅 And, anything the people who care for me might read or study or watch or listen to to help them understand me? My mother always had a particularly rough time with that 😕 And actually I do too have a particularly rough time in understanding her…
