  • While the exact prevalence of psychopathological misdiagnosis in gifted children is unknown, it is an occurrence within the gifted population (Amend & Beljan, 2009; Batstra et al., 2012; Bishop & Rinn, 2019; Bishop & Rinn, 2020; Coon, 2014; Webb et al., 2016). However, there is a gap in the literature related to psychopathological misdiagnosis specific to gifted males. (Desmet & Pereira, 2021; Ecklund et al., 2014; Eren et al., 2018; Neu & Weinfeld, 2007; OECD, 2015; Preckel et al., 2015; Watts, 2022). This transcendental phenomenological study leveraged Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Model for Human Development (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006) as a theoretical framework and Greenspoon and Saklofske's (2001) Dual Factor Model of Mental Health as a conceptual framework to help in understanding, analyzing, and interpreting the experience of a psychopathological misdiagnosis in gifted men. The four themes that were revealed during this study were Precipitating Event/Conflict Within the Home at Time of Misdiagnosis, Similar External Behaviors at Time of Misdiagnosis, High Psychopathology at Time of Misdiagnosis, and Positive Disintegration. A smaller sub-theme, I am Autistic, was also identified. For this study, based on the experiences of the five gifted men who participated, the essence of psychopathological misdiagnosis involved perseverance to shift from high psychopathology and disintegration to reflection and introspection, self-actualization, authenticity, and well-being.
