0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Psychology and Seattle. I'm your host, Kirk Honda, licensed therapist |
0:11.4 | and professor. Today on the show we have a special guest with us, Lisa Erickson. Please |
0:16.3 | introduce yourself to podcast land. Thanks Kirk for inviting me to be on. I've been a professor |
0:23.6 | at Antioch for 20 years. I have a private practice in Seattle, Washington, where I specialize |
0:30.6 | in working with gifted adults, addictions, and trauma. I also am clinical director at Calilitz |
0:40.8 | Tribal Health Seattle, which serves urban Native American children and youth. What are your tasks |
0:47.1 | involved there? Program development, supervision, and I see a few clients there as well. So how long |
0:54.4 | have you been working in the field? Since before a lot of people were born. Over 30 years. Over 30 years, |

1:45.9 | ever talked about the characteristics of having a high IQ. And so when I stumbled into this material, |
1:54.6 | I was shocked. So I started reading pretty voraciously and realized that it was pretty significant. |
2:05.4 | That most clinicians don't know that there are some neurological differences associated with having |
2:11.8 | a high IQ, and they're frequently misdiagnosed. Like what? What might they get misdiagnosed with? |
2:18.6 | ADD, ADHD is a big one. If you can imagine the bell-shaped curve that we're all sort of familiar with |
2:27.2 | with the high point being average IQ. And on the far left are people who have cognitive disabilities |
2:36.3 | and people on the far right have a high IQ. And that's usually considered to be 130 or greater. |
