A Strength-Based Approach for people with "Hyper-Connected Brains" is desperately needed. Is that going to be ENOUGH?--- Probably not.

We're pretty much pushing the LIMITS of "HYPER-CONNECTED BRAINS" and Greater SENSORY PROCESSING.

Certainly in the "Gifted Community" --- there's recognition but there is also DENIAL.

• With regard to relationships ---- "GIFTED" people really struggle ---
  • they may have thought they really just needed to find someone who is just as smart and/or talented as they are
  • if they managed to do that --- that generally didn't work out as well as they thought it was going to.
    

• • One of the "GO TO EXPLANATIONS" has been--- well, "GIFTED" people are so drawn to "NOVELTY" that this is making relationships difficult
    • Is that true --- it could be.

 

• The larger problem is that "GIFTED" / NEURO-DIVERSE people are so "SENSITIVE" or "REACTIVE" to the ENVIRONMENT --- STABILITY IS NOT THEIR MIDDLE NAME.    

On the other hand, Neuro-Diverse people may be able to SOLVE A DETAILED PROBLEM or INTEGRATE ENORMOUS AMOUNTS of INFORMATION into ART for that "BIG PICTURE" --- a lot quicker than anybody else.  

In our Society, a lot of what we tend to do is either put "GIFTED" / NEURO-DIVERSE people on a PEDESTAL or we're so pre-occupied with their EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING DIFFERENCES --- that their BIG STRENGTHS get MISSED ALL TOGETHER.

Prince Ea --- "OUCH"

A lot of Neuro-Diverse people are in a lot of EMOTIONAL PAIN and that is sometimes accompanied with PHYSICAL PAIN.

RELATIONSHIPS are important for all people and they are certainly important for NEURO-DIVERSE PEOPLE

BUT

If we don't get to the UNDERLYING BIOLOGY of GREATER SENSORY OVERLOAD --- saying "OUCH" as important as it is ---

It is probably not going to be ENOUGH.

This goes beyond "ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS" to a POPULATION that has increasingly HIGHER LEVELS of NEURO-DEVELOPMENTAL INFLAMMATION --- Neuro-Developmental DIFFERENCES and Psychiatric Disorders.
