I'm I believe strongly that there's large numbers of people out there who are not being served because of this forming diagnoses, if you will.
And I think that this is probably the population in the current century that is going to be the need to be the focus in you know in our education conversation.
Um the other piece that I think is paramount to point out is that we're now at a time where so many parents across the socioeconomic spectrum that are opting out of school entirely, right?
So in at a time when education can be more personalized, where families can cobble together different kinds of education opportunities for their kids to get their kids' needs met.
Neurodiversity is going to thrive.
It's going to find its place in that context.
So in some ways, like I think the next ten, twenty years are really interesting and exciting for for these stories.
Yeah.
I mean I think that more more it's probably quite likely that a lot of gifted kids who don't have that sec da second diagnosis would receive that second diagnosis if they were tested or if they were if we went further with them in terms of, you know, looking at their their neuropsych or whatever.
You know, testing is a huge part of this, right?
And getting people identified and and there's lots of reasons why some are identified and some aren't, right?
And um and so one thing we are doing in the movie.
For example, is we're gonna try to demystify the testing process.
Um one of our characters we're following, who's uh 16 years old now, sorry, 17 years old now.
He's um twice exceptional, has real issues with speech and sort of auditory processing issues, and um he's a wonderful kid.
And you know, his mom is a founder of a two E school here in the Bay Area, so that family has really opted into um giving us a lot of access.
Um his twin is also two E.
They're both amazing.
And they have their own narrative around this stuff.
And you know, getting him and getting the testing center to sort of trust us to kind of respect the confidentiality of the testing process was a huge endeavor, right?
