“Because my partner and I were suddenly faced with the question of whether or not to take action with one of our own children, I discovered that I knew absolutely nothing about giftedness. After some searching, we found someone who could guide us in this matter: an ECHA specialist. I started to understand my child better, and also myself. I was so surprised that I had not heard a word about giftedness in my entire medical career. And yet the behaviour of children with characteristics of giftedness can show many similarities with all kinds of psychological signals that we do diagnose and often refer to psychiatry. This is incomprehensible to me.”
