And it's really frustrating when I have a kid who I know is twice exceptional.

And I

send them and try to get them to go get an evaluation and wherever they end up because of insurance or who knows whatever reasons.

And sometimes they come back with a diagnosis that's totally off base because they haven't

even done a cognitive assessment or they don't understand how those cognitive assessments influence things.

There's a lot of research out there.

Megan Foley Nick Pond up at the University of Iowa actually is doing some stuff with how kids don't end up

qualifying because

their their giftedness compensates and they don't meet diagnostic criteria.

But that doesn't mean that they don't need those supports.

And and sometimes I I mean labels, you can talk about labels all you want, but

Sometimes a label is necessary to get kids the support that they need.

And if we're missing kids, we're missing that opportunity.

It it's such a personal

journey for people.

And there's so much misunderstanding about

different diagnoses.

But I I think

Where I've kind of landed with it is recognizing that

Labels are a tool.
