personally, I'm willing to do basically anything (including selling my soul) to be able to talk about "gifted" struggles publicly and seek help without drawing resentment/animosity/etc from other people.

after listening to the Divergent Conversations podcast's Giftedness series, i think "developmental asynchrony" captures enough of both the unusual intellectual/creative/etc abilities, as well as the dissonance of expectations vs performance and of self vs chronological age cohort.

I'm open to other alternative names as well. please comment with suggestions.

once we decide on a name, would anyone help me popularize it?

(i realize it's more or less impossible)

"This synthesis of scientific research on giftedness and its associated non-cognitive features does not support the conclusion that there is a stable profile across gifted individuals that would consistently separate them from non-gifted individuals. A few specificities in some areas are noted, but they are not necessarily being systematic. These specificities often turn out to be in favor of gifted youth, contrary to the view sometimes defended in the general public that gifted individuals suffer from major everyday difficulties."
