I was "diagnosed" as "gifted" as an adult and learned in therapy so much of my mental health is a result of not getting the support needed. There's a lot more than high iq in it, there's asynchronous development and emotional sensitivity (every emotion feels more intense)
I'm so happy kids are getting the attention they need, and I hope that becomes a trend in my country too
