emotional sensitivity
While few can agree
on a black-and-white definition for giftedness, one characteristic of
the population that has some global acceptance is emotional
sensitivity. It is a feature of personality that often plays havoc with
the ability to live easily in the world.

 "Few
realize that the real Pocahontas
was only eleven
years old. Hollywood turned the incident into a love story, but the
real story is one of profound moral courage of a gifted child."
Linda
Silverman, PhD, in Advanced Development Journal, 1995
“Historical accounts of Pocahontas's
brief life, asserts Dr.
Allen, typically depict her as a lovelorn and tragic character (she
died in 1617 at the age of 20 or 21).
"Allen's Pocahontas is a real visionary, a prodigiously gifted young
woman fervently devoted to the spiritual traditions of her people."
from Publishers Weekly review of book Pocahontas
: Medicine Woman, Spy, Entrepreneur, Diplomat - by Paula Gunn Allen

butted up against the boundaries of race and class.

Many
of our brightest, most creative, most independent thinking children and
adults are being incorrectly diagnosed as having behavioral, emotional,
or mental disorders.

They
are then given medication and/or counseling to change their way of
being so that they will be more acceptable within the school, the
family, or the neighborhood, or so that they will be more content with
themselves and their situation.

When
misdiagnosed gifted clients are prescribed medication to suppress the
"symptoms
of giftedness" there is the danger that the wonderful inner fury of the
gifted process will be neutralized, thus minimalizing the potential for
a life of accomplishment and fulfillment.
