Read @sbkaufman.bsky.social’s Transcend. Learned lots: Maslow’s pyramid was likely created by a management consultant in the 1960s, and Harlow advised Maslow’s PhD captive monkey dominance behavior. Nice overview of Maslow’s arc and current, related research. New image instead of pyramid:

Book cover of Ungifted Cover copy:

In Ungifted, cognitive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman—who was relegated to special education as a child—offers a new way of looking at intelligence. He explores the latest research in genetics, neuroscience, and psychology to challenge the conventional wisdom about the childhood predictors of adult success, arguing for a more holistic approach to intelligence that takes into account each individual’s abilities, engagement, and personal goals.

I’ve seen a lot of terrible takes from pundits about intelligence and IQ recently.

For a fascinating and much better discussion on the subject, I highly recommend @sbkaufman.bsky.social “Ungifted” scottbarrykaufman.com/books/ungift...

ADHD Isn’t A Trauma Response Newer approaches to ADHD shed light on its origins, challenges, and gifts.

@sbkaufman.bsky.social's "ADHD isn't a trauma response" highlights heritability, in particular the bidirectional relationship between ACES & ADHD. I suspect this kind of thinking might be very helpful to carers supporting CYP with ADHD.
