Cover Story: As more students are identified with autism spectrum disorder, psychologists, educators, and parents search for ways to support these young people and enhance their lives. Among this diverse group of students are those with academic gifts and talents. Unfortunately, too many of these twice-exceptional students (2eASD) are unsuccessful in school and fail to develop their talents. Over the last five years, a research team interested in talent development conducted several studies investigating how educators, professional psychologists, and parents can support twice-exceptional, neurodiverse students who have been academically successful with strength-based strategies. Using students’ interests to stimulate academic engagement is very helpful for their positive social emotional development. View this paper
