I realize this board is for those with Spirited and Gifted Children, but I found this to be the place to understand my own stuggle with this. I am 18, and after doing research, I come to think that this may be what I am. In school I was always at the top of my class. School was easy, I already knew the answers. I loved discussions with teachers, and usually, they would indulge me, because they found, in some areas, I knew things they had yet to look into. As I became older, things started coming easier to me, odd things. Without even trying or practicing, I recreated 1940s hairstyles for a community theater play. With only one sewing lesson at nine years old, I recently started making period style clothing without using patterns. I sometimes feel my current job is not suited to me. I am a waitress saving money for school and my costume design business. The change from the dim lights in the restaurant, to the bright lights in the kitchen constantly bothers me, and I am always taking advil, or asperin from the headaches caused by this. I get easily flustered by loud noises. I also startle very easily.
Thank you so much for hearing me
