TIL "pattern recognition" isn't considered being gifted.
goodbyeitwasfunwhileitlasted
Yeah, I was a bit confused on that one as well. In my opinion, it should be on the overlap between all 3, or at least between autism and gifted at the very least.

It saddens me that "overlapping areas are shared traits" had to be explained.. do people really not unserstand how venn diagrams work? :/

The world is overflowing with people so dumb it's nothing short of a bonafide miracle that they can even remember how to breath. So it doesn't surprise me in the least that tons of people would struggle with the concept of a venn diagram.

I'm groaning before I even zoom in to read this

There's something I'm sensing you'd like to unpack there

I have been officially diagnosed as "gifted." I have been told I "present" as ADHD, but I have zero H so not really. And a close friend who works in that field has told me more than once that I have traits that could put me on the spectrum.
Some of my problems like time blindness are not in the overlap area. So I may not "have" anything, but I do deal with this shit.

Thank you for clarifying. The interesting thing about graphs and figures is that, as soon as the ink is dry on them, they're outdated and wrong.
Better to present something that's about 80% right with room for conversation about the ways it could be improved than in throwing the entire thing out over the 20% that doesn't line up on an individual level.

afaik you don't need to have the hyper part to get diagnosed with it anymore, at least modern psychology says that. It used to be that way, that's why a lot of people didn't get diagnosed. For that reason it's not longer called "adhs" in germany, it's only ads now. Also that diagram is not a full symptom list. It's an issue, that a lot of times you only get diagnosed through standardized tests where you should have proper sessions and multiple talks with a psychologist that knows their shit.

also it's very possible to have multiple issues, it's very common that people have ad(h)s and are on the autism spectrum. some of them might also be hypergifted. in the end they are more a symptom group as a single word describing "the problem" (where the problem most of the time relates to you not being able to function in society) most of the time you also with have a depression at the point where you finally get diagnosed, so that's gonna mix with everything as well.
Laser2000
having said all that: I hope you will get cool people that can help you with the fitting into societal structures. imho both ads and autism often make very cool and interesting people, very honest and loyal friends. they see very cool details in life, most of the time what makes them incompatible to function normally shows what's wrong with society in general I think. for example "not being able to concentrate on sth boring" < that's a symptom for ads. mh.
