I am glad to hook up with you again. I was devoted to your radio show on Fridays with Bernie Sanders in the 90’s.
So now I’m reading your books on ADHD. Our family is full of these hunters of which I am one at 81 years.
But our present focus is with our youngest of 13 Alex. I had suspected he a hunter. His school year has been difficult but he is starting his comeback which has been so impressive to us all
The Hunter and the Farmer made sense from the start for this old guy. I’m sure our Alex will also identify with it.
".....the present environment isn't worth full consciousness." Well, perhaps that explains why I sat in the same chair with the same teacher two consecutive semesters of German in the (gifted) high school, and earned an A first time, and then a D. The teacher always gave me kind of a funny look if we passed in the hall, after that. Lord knows, no one could have expected him to have a clue, back in 1969. Gemutlichkeit! I wonder if in an emergency I wouldn't suddenly sprache sehr gut! BTW, where did "gemütlichkeit" come from? Weird.
Hi, Peggy. When my keyboard blurted out "Gemütlichkeit," (let me be clear, which sometimes I am not, I was doing the typing) it was a greeting, like "Have a good day!" Then I got nervous, since German hasn't been in my life since admittedly quite a bit in college, too. So I Googled it, and damn! Funny what pops up from deep down. For me, it was a little shout-out to fellow-gifteds. God bless us everyone!
Thanks, Thom. Those are great details on the unstimulated times until the challenging moments arrive; as you say, the first usually seen as the deficit, and the very enlivened, the "hyper active."

Thanks for this article. It rings so clear.
Awaiting your next

I'm unfamiliar with those German words. What is their general meaning?
