Journal of Learning Differences
I recently reviewed a rejoinder that you wrote for the Journal of Learning Differences about Twice-exceptional learners.
I found the article to be trite, lacking in content, and generally missing any points that approximate reality.

Mindset, by Carol S. Dweck
• “A growth mindset is about believing people can develop their abilities.”
On page 21557
Mindset, by Carol S. Dweck
• Growth mindset:Your basic abilities and qualities are enhanced through effort (hard-work). Your potential is nearly unlimited, so long as you are truthful about yourself (Strengths and weakness), stretch yourself, apply yourself, learn from your mistakes, and are dedicated to hanging in there-even when it gets very difficult.
58
Mindset, by Carol S. Dweck
• Fixed mindset:Your basic abilities and qualities like intelligence, are innate and set (i.e., born with them), and your success is tied to proving how smart you, avoiding failure effortlessly, (e.g., winning, but at all costs by cheating, blaming, breaking rules, and making excuses).
59
Mindset, by Carol S. Dweck
• Meta take away:• Try to see failures as separate from your
self-worth (No really, Failure ≠ self-worth• Work your buttock off (e.g., hardworking)• Use mistakes to learn how to do better
60
Dr. Jim
• Hard work is my superpower

What can you do?
Value your strengths, first and foremost
Don’t let people define you because of your deficits; however, you need to be realistic about them.
Starting today, validate and celibate who you are as a person.
