“Or, as neurologist Jeffrey Victoroff describes it, “ADHD is a symptom in search of a disorder in search of a syndrome.”38”

“Like many 2e children, he's endured more than his share of suffering because of academic underachievement, peer rejection, bullying, and even judgment by adults who thought he was too smart to be autistic and too autistic to be smart.”

“Although we recognize that poor parenting practices and deliberately defiant children do exist in our culture, most oppositional behaviors in 2e children—stubbornness, impatience, low frustration levels, and tantrums—are caused by underlying deficits in emotional regulation and in social cognition (mind-blindness) or by characteristics of giftedness. For a large portion of the 2e population, oppositionality is not simply a learned behavior. The diagnosis of ODD is a very real danger to 2e children because it opens the door to their being seriously misunderstood, misjudged, and medicated. Unfortunately, the notion that ODD is a learned behavior arising from poor parenting echoes a long-held assumption that parents somehow “cause” their children's disorders.”
