Common Characteristics by Leila Collier https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d When looking at the characteristics, what were you takeaways? What other perspectives did you gain? en-us 2022-06-08 15:49:08 UTC 2026-02-12 00:27:31 UTC hello@padlet.com Overlapping traits reginahellinger https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2215418414 So many of the traits of ASD are common traits of gifted students. How do we distinguish between them?]]> 2022-06-08 20:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2215418414 https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2216607027 I found it interesting how that many of the characteristic overlap between ASD and gifted. I think that when looking at that, we are very quick to label someone one thing and we forget to look at the whole picture and all of the different possibilities. ]]> 2022-06-09 18:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2216607027 https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2216880941 There are many similar characteristics between a gifted child and a child with autism. I was surprised by this because most people assume children with autism perform low on assessments and gifted children are higher achievers. ]]> 2022-06-10 01:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2216880941 https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2217775799 There are many similarities between the two. More attention needs to be paid to the fact that some students with Autism are also Gifted.]]> 2022-06-10 19:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2217775799 There is so much overlap! This is important to note as several students maybe 2E and be receiving only one service when they really need both support systems in place. https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2217791102 2022-06-10 19:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2217791102 https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2217905791 There are a lot of common characteristics. It does make sense, since oftentimes both gifted and autistic students are passionate about certain topics and easily fixate on them. I did not expect there to be so much overlap. I imagine that could make it difficult to distinguish whether a student is gifted, has autism, or both.]]> 2022-06-11 00:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2217905791 1) There's a lot of similarities between the common characteristics of 2e kids with ADHD/Gifted and ASD/Gifted. 2) The ASD/Gifted characteristics ARE similar but they are NOT the same. So, to me that means teachers/schools need PD to help train teachers in the nuanced differences between them. https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2218276054 2022-06-11 19:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2218276054 shari_sipka https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2218605652 I love the chart. There are so many overlapping characteristics so it is clear to see why there might be only one designation made instead of the twice exceptional. I also believe we are so quick to pigeon hole someone as one or the other rather than more than one.]]> 2022-06-12 14:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2218605652 This chart is so awesome. I noticed that there were a lot of similarities the characteristics of ASD and Giftedness. I could see how one could mask the other, and how either ASD or Giftedness could be missed. https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2218803085 2022-06-12 22:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2218803085 https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2220182945 The takeaways were inspiring after working with autistic students for more than 10 years their social and emotional well-being is a tad bit altered and needs to be checked in on some thing such as just turning off the lights or not having a dot or a space in my PowerPoint would call some of my autistic students to interject. This was an excellent recap and a beautiful way to explore the giftedness that also comes with this spectrum of autism.]]> 2022-06-14 02:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/leilacollier/gwyzxninulwqqw5d/wish/2220182945
