For over 25 years, blame has been extended to gifted programs for favoring children from advantaged backgrounds. Minority groups or gifted learners are highly underrepresented in gifted programs in the United States. Statistics report that this underrepresentation may vary for 30% to 70%. The average is common at around 50%. (Ford & Thomas, 1997). Gifted students exist in all levels of society, every culture, and every ethnic group (Frasier, Garcia, Passow, 1995). In order to include underrepresented minority groups in gifted programs, it is mandatory to establish “equal footing” for all students no matter what their race, culture, or socioeconomic status is . . .

Gifted children and adults are frequently misdiagnosed, particularly those who are twice-exceptional (2e). This much-anticipated second edition of a best-selling book is your guide to help prevent that. Some of our brightest, most creative children and adults are misdiagnosed as having behavioral or emotional disorders such as ADD/ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or Asperger\'s Disorder. Many receive unneeded medications and/or inappropriate counseling. How can this happen? Physicians, psychologists, and counselors often are unaware of characteristics of gifted children and adults that mimic pathological diagnoses. James T. Webb, Edward R. Amend, Paul Beljan, Nadia E. Webb, Marianne Kuzujanakis, F. Richard Olenchak. and Jean Goerss guide parents and professionals to distinguish between behaviors that are pathological and those that are normal for gifted individuals.Topics include:The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) and ICD-10 Diagnoses most commonly given to gifted children and adults Learning disabilities and other 2e issues Allergies, asthma, and hypoglycemia Addictive disorders Issues for gifted adults Advice for selecting a counselor or healthcare professional
