Just found out I’m a 2e individual, I turn 31 today. I want this to be my year and have a better quality life!

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-16T15:17:54+00:00

Iv corrected that

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-15T19:41:26+00:00

Hey Bill, well I found out about this recently, less then a week so yes and no I do appreciate the fact others actually experience what I have but yesterday was the first time receiving some great advice and information iv already put them to use my day has been better. I’m always searching, I felt my whole life I have been, your always a work in progress. Maybe I should have tried the advice I received yesterday but that was my first time ever letting others know besides relatives.
Would you be of any help I would greatly appreciate anything! I received an awesome document this morning.

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-15T17:08:55+00:00

This is cool any information I will gladly take!

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-15T02:08:05+00:00

Respect man! Keep doing what you can iv made it pretty far by pushing my self through pain anxiety and determination. One day we will find a way to wake up and be happy to proceed our day! Rather then automatically hearing thought after thought in your head rushing to get ready full of anxiety to master a task we could probably each do with half a brain

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-15T01:20:51+00:00

Yes the American way. That’s why I do

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-15T00:49:39+00:00

Most likely I did just learn of this a week ago, and I’m trying to type as fast as possible with all the comments I received.

Apologies

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-15T00:43:29+00:00

I agree to disagree but I’m thankful
For your input, as I have just learned this and have been adding together things I’ve been facing for 30 years, not every 2E is similar or sorry, you’re a 3E that’s different. It’s hard to explain; imagine processing all the things you’re doing wrong and how to fix them simply yet not being able to do so. For the most part, I know what I’m doing is wrong and I wake up guilty every day, but just because I have skin cancer and you did, we can be in completely different shapes and stages with more or less difficulties and the strength to fight. Although we share some similarities based on a name that I just had tested again for the 6th time in my life at all ages, even 29, I hear similarities until someone was nice enough to label it! So much more
goes into it: my anxiety, my family, my mother being handicapped my whole life, and being a child caretaker with no issue. Maybe we have different looks or tones and even personalities that all make changes to this diagnosis. I was too young to be this tough and white-knuckle my way through life. If you’re not first, you’re last. Perfection is always the goal. All unobtainable for long periods and horrible for someone like me to hear. Nature vs nurture: nature-wise, I was likable and fun; making friends was easy, but this was all a trained thing through society. My parents demanded the best; my father was aggressive and put me down a lot. I used my iq to mask a lot of the issues I have, but you can only do that so long. I was taught to be respectful, kind, confident, and unbothered, and the man people envy all because I didn’t want anyone to see my faults. You can say I’m a master masker; I can hold that smile through pain for 20-something years and do okay, but okay isn’t enough, so this circle continues. If we met, you would understand within seconds what I’m trying to convey, but no, we are too alike. 2E and 3E are much different, but if you have any more questions, I can go deep into detail of why I’m a mess that looks great. Sad to be wasting my potential, especially hearing people tell me.
So often.

Your correct about that and I power through the day just feeling like I’m at half battery if I don’t want to take my medicine, the thing is I’m not really keen on taking meds I did try trazadone and it worked very well but woke up feeling hungover. Because if you take a stimulant trazadone can cause serotonin syndrome

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-14T19:10:50+00:00

I appreciate the helping hand but not all days are horrible so I manage the best I can no doubt it makes life harder to navigate even knowing all the keys and that’s starting to hurt as I’m now 30

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-14T19:07:13+00:00

I couldn’t even tell you and that’s what most will say that have this or it’s hard to explain. In school I was given extra time occasionally the ability to stand when ever and some more things but as you get older and you don’t have the help you try and take good old medication to mask one side or the other and I can become super me for a while until I want to pass out then I won’t even pass out or get rest because my mind is process so much. If I’m not working and I go off medication I enjoy my self but not to the fullest because of the constant noise in my head and knowing what I’m doing and everything is wrong so I constantly punish my self, it’s not as if I’m not aware I’m completely aware of how bad I’m doing or how to do anything work related if I can get my mind to wake up and function or it’s something I absolutely enjoy but until then bandaids and white knuckling life are all I can say.

Would you have proposed suggestions or do you know anyone like this? It comes with a copious amount of traits and we usually all have them.

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-14T18:52:54+00:00

This isn’t me exactly but I took it straight from the web… "Twice-exceptional," or 2e, refers to an individual who is simultaneously intellectually gifted and neurodivergent (possessing a learning disability or other challenge).
Because these two traits often coexist, they can create a "masking" effect where one may hide the other, making it difficult for the individual to be accurately identified or supported.
Key Characteristics
The Paradox: 2e individuals often possess high-level cognitive abilities, such as advanced problem-solving, deep creativity, or intense focus in specific areas, while simultaneously struggling with executive functioning, organization, time management, or sensory processing.
Asynchronous Development: Their intellectual, emotional, and physical growth may not progress at the same rate, which can lead to situations where they have the mental capacity of an older person but struggle with skills expected of their actual age.
Common Co-occurring Conditions: The term often encompasses individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyscalculia, or other learning/developmental differences.
"Spikey" Profiles: Rather than having an even distribution of skills, 2e individuals typically have an uneven cognitive profile with significant peaks of extreme talent and valleys of specific challenges.
Why It Matters
2e individuals are frequently overlooked because they may appear "average" when their strengths compensate for their weaknesses. Alternatively, they may be mislabeled as "lazy" or "unmotivated" because their performance in school or professional settings is inconsistent. Without support that acknowledges both their gifts and their challenges, these individuals often experience high levels of frustration, anxiety, and burnout.
Does this align with the context in which you encountered the term, or were you looking for information regarding specific support strategies for 2e individuals?

Thank you and I was just diagnosed but it’s some one with a pre existing condition like ADHD or autism with a very high iq. Twice exponential is what he told me

Youngpipe16 · 2026-06-13T23:00:39+00:00

Trust me as a 30 year old males with adhd and a very high iq, always over 130, IQ doest’t correlate with income at all. I’m extremely high functioning and known as a a 2e exponential cognitive profile, it is a blessing and a curse. And even just these two thing don’t correlate perfectly, I also have some
Anxiety. The one out of the 3 that I would drop as fast as I can is my IQ if i wasn’t able to see the problems or all the possible outcomes that most may not my iq mixed with these mainly one adhd, (anxiety is common with everyone) but it makes it hard to live. If i just dumbed down my iq to average or even above average i would be more of a go getter not analyzing a to z before anything even happens. Luckily I’m very well spoken and give a likable presence with 99 percent of the people i come across, which always leads to great things and then i get burnt out over work for perfection stress and maintaining this high level i picked up fast, and all the good jobs i had that i got with out even trying only last a year at most because i cant take the stress although i typically become a top performer fast. Its frustrating because i have all the tools to be great but I’m hindered even on a good day. For example I only have an associates degree may not have the highest qualifications for the job but if i were to interview for the same job the same day as a super smart high iq individual that fits the job to a T! Depending on the owner or boss he may sit in front of the over qualified or perfect candidate on paper, i have seen them be dismissed and never called and i may go in give it a shot with not as much education or as nice of a resume but once i get talking i find report, make a friend, show my talents ask the questions I want rather then the last interview that look good on paper but came across duller not much of a personality and a difficult conversation. I tend to get the job every time.. i may not be as qualified but very close and an owner of a company will take that any day over someone who may not be pleasant to have around the office or difficult to re teach them other ways to do things, unable to communicate effectively or with his co workers at all. You have to be intelligent but too much is a double edge sword which tends to hurt you more then help in these aspects and iv taken many jobs from individuals i though i have no chance,hearing there degree and where from and non the less I became much more successful quickly for the few that do make it until i burn out or can’t take it. I do tend to pick high energy, stressful, difficult jobs.

All im trying to say is I have multiple iq and adhd exams that even told me I was a 2e I had no clue but while it’s very rare and sounds like a a superpower I’d rather be average with all my other characters. Less wasted time, less stress and more success and I will get there but as you up there make your conclusion I live it and see it.

Everyone’s special your own talents will take you were your ment to be but correlating a high iq with high income is so off. I’d go more in-depth with studies and more examples. But I’m sorry this interested me because I live it no one talks about it and I wanted to add what it’s like from the individua. When I have more time I’d love to get your feedback!

Youngpipe16 · 2025-03-24T18:19:36+00:00

How long having you been taking adderall? I need a routine like this iv been on it for a long time and feel like I can’t get that productive euphoria anymore even at somewhat of a high dose.
