MISDIAGNOSIS
INITIATIVE

SUPPORT STARTS WITH AWARENESS

Misdiagnosis is a widespread issue for the GT/2E community. Proper assessment is essential for applying the right social and emotional support in home, work and school settings.

Intellectually gifted people, whose needs are neglected or misunderstood, may exhibit traits and behaviors that resemble conditions like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), for example. Misdiagnosis can result in unnecessary medication and unintended harm.

​
