Highly sensitive, Intense and Gifted: Dating, Working, Thriving in a Neurotypical World - Abel Abelson and Imi Lo

The Intense Mind with Imi Lo

FULL TRANSCRIPT: https://eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2023/04/19/abel_neurotypical/
At forty years of age, Abel Abelson discovers that he is intellectually gifted. Suddenly his eternal “otherness” is no longer a flaw. It is being called an asset, a plus, a gift … But is it really?

In the light of this discovery Abel revisits his past, unravels the present and reconstructs a future. Being intellectually gifted is just the tip of the iceberg. True meaning turns out to be hiding somewhere else, far beyond the “giftedness” concept.

Today, we talked about:

- The nuanced experience of being neuro-divergent

- The experience of dating, schooling, working, thriving… as a neuro-divergent, gifted, highly sensitive person in a neurotypical world.

- Why Abel wrote the book and titled it “How to Handle Neurotypicals”
