| Your reason to become a doctor, to me, doesn't sound like the greatest reason However, not everyone that succeeds at becoming a doctor, has the greatest reason What kind of education do you have right now?

| That’s not necessarily the case…..though many “gifted” people happen to be neurodivergent. I agree with you. "Gifted" is not yet officially defined specifically enough to have any significant implications per se You can't separate nature versus nurture Merely being great at something, doe... |

| I think "Autistic" and "Autistic Person" are both viable candidates. I'll admit that when I think about it, I'm not too crazy about "Person with Autism". To me that sounds like Autism is some kind of viral infection. But, other folk might like the term. Youre missing t... |

If you say "ever" and there is one or more times, then the answer is "yes".
If there are zero times, then the answer is "no"
The speaker only has one definition
All other definitions are "misunderstandings" |
