Dan F replied to Alex (up-late)'s discussion Feeling less gifted as an adult than I did as a child. in the group The Gifted Adult"Sure I have. In fact, that's one of the things that motivated me to be retested some years back. I felt like I'd lost it.
But since then, I've found out more about the adult brain and realised that the other differences we…"

January Reflections
Posted on January 22, 2012 at 18:45 0 Comments 0 Likes
January seems to me a natural month to gather myself together and wait out the winter in both a metaphorical and physical sense. I've been hibernating, withdrawing to my cave (the warm, comfortable one) at times for a bit of extra sleeping in, some old movies and good books. But this is also a time of heavy introspection, and I've noticed some things. Not good or bad, just noticeable.…
Continue Thoughtfulness and the Neurotypical Response

I've had the interesting experience today of being told that because I outspokenly refuse to repeat the insipid politically correct greeting "Happy Holidays" and instead wish people a Merry Christmas simply based on the fact that that is the name of the bank holiday, I'm thoughtless. Since this comment was made on the internet, it doesn't really bother me in itself -- after all, the person who posted it has no idea whether I'm thoughtless or not and I've ignored the comment. But the ideas…
Continue How MGL Began
Posted on October 31, 2011 at 20:08 3 Comments 0 Likes
Several years ago, I rediscovered my giftedness as an adult, which changed my life dramatically. I didn't suddenly realise I was gifted, I'd known that as a child; but the idea that being gifted didn't stop if you grew up and hadn't invented a cure for cancer or become a physicist -- that was a revelation. Instead of just being a weird adult who was too smart for his own good, I was just still learning and growing, starving for lack of brain food. Epiphany!
One of the keys to this…

OK, you might have decided you're gifted, your brain is a high-performance sportscar rather than a lumbering SUV, and you'll be more confident shouting out the answers to the television on the next…Continue

A community for support and fellowship for gifted persons, those close to them and associated professionals.

About MGL
MyGiftedLife.org is not a high-IQ society or corporate entity. MGL is not a business, nor is it a formal charity. We do not currently operate on any grants or fund-raising. Our mission is to provide a place where people can provide fellowship, encouragement and information to each other when needed.
MGL is for gifted persons and those involved in their lives, including parents, families and friends. Educators, psychologists and other professionals are welcome, as are others who may simply want information about giftedness.
Mygiftedlife is a safe haven. It's a place where anyone who experiences life from a gifted perspective can share their unique selves and weave a common thread going beyond the tapestry of any usual forum to one based upon expanding awareness of experiences, self, others and the world we live in. Mygiftedlife is a place for delving deeper. I've come here and been understood when that seemed impossible. Gifted people and those advocating for gifted children navigate societal structures that present a great challenge. Support can be hard to find, but here it is.
"Hey, all the inane shallow chatter about stupid stuff at other forums got you down? Come here for more in depth and intelligent discussion about things that actually matter."
