What if everything you've been told about "fixing" your twice-exceptional child is missing the point entirely?

The children we work with discuss advanced scientific concepts but struggle with basic organization. They excel on assessments but melt down over daily transitions. They build intricate creative projects but find simple writing tasks overwhelming.

These aren't contradictions to resolve, but patterns to understand.

Emily Kircher-Morris, licensed counselor and host of The Neurodiversity Podcast, suggests it's time to stop thinking about problems and start thinking about patterns. Your child isn't broken—they're differently wired. The goal isn't making your child look like their neuro-normative peers, but creating environments where their neurodivergent gifts can flourish alongside appropriate support.
