Individuals with high intellectual abilities, or as they are popularly known, the gifted, are often detected during their childhood stage. An almost excessive curiosity, a great ability to adapt and reason ideas and a high ease of learning are some of the signs that could give them away at school. Identifying them as soon as possible is essential, not only to get the most out of the gifted child's potential, but also to ensure good social adaptation and adequate psychological development.
But it's not always like this. Whether due to inattention or misdiagnosis, sometimes confused with autism, some gifted children spend their entire lives unaware of this condition until they become adults. Something that can affect them psychologically and emotionally, because they will not feel that they fit in completely with the rest. However, it is never too late to know whether or not you are an undiagnosed gifted adult.
The qualities that characterize an undiagnosed gifted adult may vary, since they are linked in a certain way to the personality of each individual. However, this generalization will allow us to identify them. Once there is suspicion, to confirm the diagnosis it will be necessary to go to a specialized medical center.
