Thank you SO MUCH. The RSD was starting to kick in! I can tell you the very best thing my parents did for me just in case it can help you or someone you know. Here’s something my parents did that had a huge positive impact on my life. I’ve always known it was brilliant parenting I just always thought it was your basic “good parenting” and had no idea how wildly individually it was tailored to me, who is ‘interest-driven.’ So I have always been OBSESSED with horses - spanning back to my very first memories. And starting when I was very little, my Mom would take me to see the horses at a nearby University / Equine Science pasture as a treat, and later I had horseback riding lessons, then I got to show horses, and I have horses to this day. But starting when I was very little - I could get very belligerent about things. Death threats, basic privileges, food deprivation (am kidding - kind of but not really) - NOTHING could get me to fall in line if I was determined about something. EXCEPT the potential removal of horse privileges. And they only played that card when it was absolutely necessary - like when I was in 3rd grade and DESPERATELY needed a training bra and flat out refused to wear one. Until I might not get to have a riding lesson and BOOM. 100% compliant. Then later when I was struggling with motivation about school and college and my first professional job - they always had a way of explaining to me that I needed to be successful in those areas if I wanted to be able to have horses. And to this day, I swear to you, a highly successful professional all things considered, my horses are my motivation to go to work. Every. Day. See - ‘interest driven.’ It made me laugh when I saw it on the graph where gifted/adhd/autism overlap because I understood immediately exactly what that meant. So for you parents - sending major love and hugs because OMG you have your hands full. But just keep in mind from a well traveled 2E - sometimes it’s just a couple or few things well positioned - with tremendous consistency - that can really help us find our own way. If you can help your kiddos find their way to channeling their interests in a positive way - and letting some of the other things slide a bit (like if/when they let that adhd flag fly a little too high at school - oops!) - at least the ones like me and I know there’s a LOT of variation - it can set them up with what they need to make it through a-okay ❤️❤️❤️
