I've recently been reading a lot about gifted children with learning disabilities, much of which concerns the possibility of misdiagnosis. Unfortunately, much of this writing suffers from serious misconceptions. These stem from an (understandable) lack of familiarity with research on learning and developmental disabilities. Researchers in gifted education writing about twice exceptionality continually complain that clinicians who evaluate children lack experience with giftedness; unfortunately, they seem less concerned about their own knowledge of learning disabilities.
