Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 274: Emily Kircher-Morris on Stigma, Labels, and Neurodiversity Affirming Parenting · 23 Nov 2021 podcast

Something that was different than what I had experienced.

And um, you know, so that led me to get a master's in in gifted ed and I taught in the gifted education classroom at the elementary and middle school levels for several years.

But what I knew was that those kids who were twice exceptional and

were really still not getting the support that they needed.

So I went back and got a second master's in in counseling and family therapy, which has led me to opening my mental health practice where I work with kids and their families who are neurodivergent and um specialize with with gifted and twice exceptional kids, but not exclusively so because neurodiversity is such a broad

range of of needs.

Um and that and that's kind of where where

I am now, in addition to being a parent to three kids, two of whom are um also neurodivergent and one who's just in first grade, but we're we're starting to

see some more of those signs that are a little more evident.

Yeah.

You know, first of all, when I started my master's in gifted education, this was in like the mid 2000s, like 2004-ish.

And

Twice exceptional was not even a term that we discussed in my master's level courses in education.

Now we did talk about kids who were gifted and had other diagnoses, specifically more like dyslexia and um ADHD.

But even the awareness of at the time what was Asperger's, but now is just under that umbrella of autism, that has just grown so much over the years.

So once I was in my

In the classroom teaching

I think I was probably closer to

I don't know, two thousand and ten even maybe when I first really started to understand that term twice exceptional and what that meant and really started to see those kids.

I was actually thinking about this the other day.
