And I had some great teachers that helped along the way that, you know, really catered.
I especially remember a geography teacher in high school.
His name was Mr. Meester.
And he did a wonderful job of just adapting to who I was as a learner.
And I thrived in that class.
I love that class.
I still remember it today.
And that helps you get through the day when you have, you know, at least a couple of high points.
But again, you're right.
We didn't have any available labels at the time.
And there were many, many kids that struggled through.
And I'm assuming, well, I know many that didn't quite make it through those times.
So the fact that we have more research, we have more understanding, we have more available tools is a good thing.
Now the issue is we have to use them and we have to use them in a proper manner.
Well, what I mean by that is you want to develop everything about the child, meaning with, especially with twice exceptional students, they come with a different brain development patterns.
And what I mean by that is generally with 2E children, they have high sensory input bands and high frontal lobe cortex development, but they have delayed limbic response.
So the limbic system, that system that is used to control executive functioning, to control emotions, is delayed.
And hence you get this asynchronous pattern of development.
So you have this child that has a
A highly advanced brain, but no means to control that brain from an emotional standpoint.
