Paper Description

Autoethnography helps explore my life as a twice-exceptional (2e) woman derailed in adolescence by an identity shift from gifted to mentally ill. As a 2e child I was educated as gifted while struggling with undiagnosed ADHD, displaying asynchronous, disruptive behaviors. Hospitalized for bipolar disorder at 21 I joined the stigmatized population of the mentally ill, but was driven to reject stigma and create a successful life. Theories of intelligence, resilience, and stigma guide this study.
