I am so glad someone asked you to talk about this. Thank you!

Good ideas. The approach is fair, shows respect and allows people to be different.

I am even happy that the word intensity can be spoken of here and it’s not being labeled as a personal failure or fault to be changed but just a difference. That is reasonable and makes it less socially taboo.

I don’t know many people who are also gifted and I was wondering if gifted people do well partnered together or if the intensity combined could be highly challenging.
