I'm very sensitive(I cry at almost everything that's sad or touching) and everyone tells me not to be that way but I can't help it. I think that it is possible to suppose that the brain begins to develop differently once you become a teen.
But I must say, missing a few characteristcs doesn't necessecirally mean youre not gifted. I started this sort of discussion on another forum and one reply really was full of truth. The person suggested that teachers tend to encourage the gifted or acedemically successesful more than they encourage the "low achievers". This of course is a general assumption.
