Hello, I am looking for research on twice exceptional students. Specifically ones who have autism spectrum disorder, and are gifted. I am looking for anything about, testing, placement, identification or other important studies that have been completed on this topic.
Thank you!
While not common to have co-occurrence [of course, could depend on your definition of gifted], here are some research examples:
