The assumption seems to be that, aside from the usual risk factors, gifted students are unique in that they may contemplate suicide because they are unpopular or are under pressure to fit in. This seems to be based on anecdotal and outdated ideas of giftedness. Our society is both anti-intellectual and prejudiced against the (intellectually or otherwise) disabled. Being an intellectual or a STEM entrepreneur is increasingly valued, but only as a path to fame and profit. Anti-intellectualism is becoming the territory of conspiracy theorists who believe that they are more, not less, intelligent than the experts. As such, I'm not really sure how much the stereotypical nerds vs. popular kids trope still correlates with intellectual giftedness. I wonder if neurodivergence might be a more useful concept than giftedness, both in the context of this book and elsewhere, but maybe that's just me. ( )
