  • Given the imbalance in the ratio of male to female ADHD diagnosis, there is a dearth of information on the profile for women with ADHD, especially in adulthood and with those of higher intelligence levels (Rommelse et al., 2016). Each, if not all, diagnoses of ADHD or giftedness come from a parent, teacher, or outside observer's scale of symptoms and behaviors (Hay et al., 2007; Klesfjo et al., 2020; Polderman et al., 2007). In this study, ten gifted women with ADHD aged 29-77 completed semi-structured interviews to examine their lived experiences of education, career, and relationships. Using a dual framework of neurodiversity and self-concept, a narrative storytelling methodology was used to frame each perception of giftedness, ADHD, and intersectionality. Key findings from this study included the humanization of giftedness and ADHD characteristics, a societal mistrust of intuition, a need for stable, low-maintenance relationships, and the purpose of masking when defining how individuals construct their personal definition of giftedness and ADHD. New terms were determined to frame the twice-exceptional individual's lived experiences, including neurobordering, neurojuxtaposition, neuromixture, neuro-opposition, and social mistrust of intuition. Implications of this study include a need for more robust vignettes of giftedness and ADHD, understanding twice-exceptional communication needs, therapy and identification protocols, consideration of heritability in diagnosis, and representation in film, literature, and media. Future research consists of an auto narrative of the researcher, demographic variable isolation, widening of inclusion criteria, the impact of adverse life outcomes, intersectional narrative research, and lifetime perspectives.

  • This research study examined the parent perceptions of and relationships among intellectual potential, academic achievement, and the order of identification of exceptionality for twice-exceptional students. Twice-exceptional students exhibit both giftedness and a learning disability or difference. Consistently and equitably identifying and serving twice-exceptional students is a persistent problem of practice in the field of education (Artiles et al., 2010; Gentry et al., 2019; List & Dykeman, 2019; Moon & Reis, 2004; Webb et al., 2019). This study was supported by a community partner, a private educational testing and advocacy agency in a Western state.This mixed methods study utilized a two-phase research design. The quantitative phase consisted of data analysis of assessment records of twice exceptional students. These data were collected by the community partner and de-identified and shared with the researcher. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Welch t-tests. For the qualitative phase, participants were recruited through the community partner. Participants engaged in two hour-long interviews to share their perceptions of the experiences of their twice-exceptional child. Qualitative data were analyzed and presented in a narrative format to explore patterns and themes. Data were interpreted through the lens of identity formation, and the conceptual frames of intersectionality, stereotype threat, and self-concept.
