Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 132: Director Marc Smolowitz on His Forthcoming Documentary, The G Word · 29 Oct 2018 podcast

Um we're

really gonna focus on the on gifted the G word as gifted as opposed to others, but really c entertain the other ones.

But 2E was just amazing to me because I felt like, wow, here is a a community that is self-organizing to take care of its kids in a way that are really empowered.

And I saw lots of moms doing amazing things, you know, in their communities, and and I saw a story there, right?

I saw a story unfolding.

And I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and it's probably the first time I've said this on record on a podcast, but I think T We is the savior of gifted.

I really do.

And the reason why I believe that is because we operate in a society of so much deficits.

Deficits are how things get funded, it's a priority.

You know, we really, really wanna fix problems.

And when you say gifted, this is not it doesn't fit into the narrative of deficits.

And even though we know that being gifted comes with all kinds of challenges, social, emotional, and otherwise.

And add in race, add in class, you know, it becomes even more complicated.

It wasn't until 2e emerged that n concepts of neurodiversity emerged in recent years that suddenly gifted was on the on the table again because it was forcing people to see that intelligence can exist alongside other kinds of deficits.

in twice exceptionality.

And so I think two E is

Is in a lot of ways like where we need to put the focus.

So there will be two we narratives in the movie that are kind of longitudinal over time, where you get to know families, you get to know schools, you get to know characters, and you'll see them sort of alongside these other sort of stories in different cities and different locations that kind of aren't focused as much on neurodiversity, but all when it all gets woven in together, we're gonna get a beautiful snapshot of all the different kinds of things that are going on in contemporary.

very gifted communities.

So anyway, so that's that was a long way of saying I'm all in for this concept of neurodiversity.
