In this exclusive interview between the world's leading expert on understanding the gifted, Dr. Linda Silverman, and US Autism President Dr. Marlo Payne Thurman, these two experts on the topic of twice exceptionality share their unique insight and wisdom about the presentation of autism in the gifted. In a fun and lighthearted discussion between two long-time friends and colleagues, Dr. Silverman and Dr. Thurman reveal some of the key attributes that differentiate between those who are visual spatial learners or simply "quirky and gifted" versus those who are truly autistic. With considerable cross-over between autism and giftedness, this session highlights how frequently the two conditions co-occur, even in those who are more severely affected and may not be easily recognized as gifted.
