Dr Chris Wells speaks & teaches about positive disintegration, Dabrowski's theory that (among other things) provides an alternate explanation for some mental illness. While the theory is not entirely about giftedness, it helps many gifted people make sense of their experiences.

Dr Wells also talks about their journey, which included being on disability for many years. It's a reminder that while labels can change, they can also hold an enormous amount of power!

Sheldon Gay shares about giftedness, in particular the intersections of being late-identified as a Black man. He hosts the I Must Be BUG'N podcast (Black, Underrepresented/Unidentified, Gifted and otherwise Neurodivergent).

I absolutely love his term of having a sparkly mind!

We weave through many topics, including education and melanated & marginalized kids not having their needs met.

This is the first of 5-6 upcoming episodes on gifted neurodivergent experiences.

p.s. that "or, but anyway" that I didn't finish was that people experience my intensity as seeming like mental illness.
