I thought the speaker was extremely biased and a little self-absorbed. It seems like all the “examples” she gave were about her son or herself. I was really interested in this topic at the beginning, but as the course went on, I grew tired of hearing about what she thought. I was hoping for more objectivity, and fewer personal opinions. Also, I was really shocked when she said that the brains of the gifted and/or ADHD are biological different. This is simply not true. There is no biological marker for ADHD. There is no way to diagnose ADHD from a brain scan.
