Quote: &quot;Reed’s entanglements serve as an apt metaphor for the school life of severely gifted children.&quot;<p>Ah, &quot;severely gifted&quot; -- what a meme. What a commentary on the times in which we live. I can imagine psychologists surveying this new frontier with barely concealed joy, in particular now that the DSM is being abandoned.<p>People need to understand that, in modern times,  to avoid one or another mental illness diagnosis, you can&#x27;t be too smart or too dumb, you can&#x27;t be hyperkinetic or hypokinetic, you can&#x27;t be extraordinary in any way. You have to be the very definition of dull and unimaginative. You have to be a psychologist.
