Barry welcomes dear GHF friend, The G Word director and producer, Marc Smolowitz, to Experts, to discuss, among other things, the evolving state of gifted and neurodiversity awareness and understanding, and how efforts, such as The G Word, have impacted perception and change.
For those unfamiliar with The G Word, the documentary “defies popular myths that assume most gifted people are wealthy, white, and will do fine on their own, and reveals the economic, cultural, and gender diversity of our nation’s gifted and talented population at every stage of life, highlighting their educational challenges, social isolation, deep emotional sensitivities, and complex, neurodiverse brains. It puts a face to the physical threats experienced by many in our schools and society-at-large, while also revealing a large and lively community of people working hard to meet their needs while challenging the prejudice and trauma that comes with being labeled ‘smart’ in the 21st century.”
