Re: Gifted Children
I apologize that you find my scientifically correct word choice to be socially awkward.
I hope you’re aware that giftedness is both recessive and an atypical brain organization prevailing standardized brain function. So if brain cancer or a learning disability is diagnosable, so is giftedness. Results derived from tests (whether they’re psychological or blood-related) lead to a diagnosis.
Diagnose: to classify or determine on the basis of scientific examination.
Symptom: a sign or indication of something.
Diagnosis and symptoms don’t always imply disease. If the confusion persists, dictionary.com is highly beneficial.
