Most of the time the talents I hear about are engineering, mechanics, mathematics, and anything computer related (don't hate me for generalizing). I felt cheated for jus... |

| Diagnosed - what next? There may be an existential dilemma then the process of some cognitive restructuring, because the self-identity you had is no longer complete and unchanged. Essentially it's back to the big picture question which typically occurs to most people during late adolescence or earl... |
