YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Neurodivergence means experiencing and processing the world differently. When high cognitive potential (giftedness) intersects with conditions like ADHD or Autism, it creates a highly complex and unique brain structure. This is what we call Twice Exceptionality (2e) and Thrice Exceptionality (3e). It is important to understand that being 2e or 3e is not the same as just having ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD. The gifted component changes everything. It brings a completely different set of life experiences, learning methods, and specific daily challenges that are often misunderstood by the outside world.
Starting from childhood, there are some educational pathways and aids for kids with ADHD or Autism. However, there is almost nothing for those with thrice exceptionality, and very little for twice exceptionality. For adults, the situation becomes even more complicated. While it is already rare to find specialized diagnostic centers for adult ADHD and Autism, dedicated support for 2e and 3e adults is practically non-existent. There is almost no free, structured help available. Sometimes you can find generic online forums, Slack workspaces, or small Telegram and Discord communities. However, these spaces lack a real support architecture. They usually group everyone together, failing to recognize that being gifted with ADHD or Autism requires a completely different approach than ADHD or Autism alone. Even in European countries with free healthcare systems, the situation is difficult. After months on a waiting list, you might finally get access to a psychiatrist and medication, but dedicated therapy and support groups are still completely missing. Currently, the only real support comes from rare, highly competent private professionals, making it accessible exclusively to those with financial means.
Studies and research on this matter are exceedingly scarce because we represent a minority. Society is not educated to understand our diversity, and current laws and regulations fail to accommodate our needs. Therefore, like any self-respecting minority, it is up to us to fight to achieve visibility, respect, and appropriate support for our specific challenges. Project Plus was established as an information and listening hub for adults with 2e and 3e. Our primary goal is to unite twice and thrice-exceptional individuals to subsequently found the first global association dedicated to protecting our differences and unique needs.
Our mission is to bring together twice and thrice-exceptional individuals, offering a sense of community to those who feel isolated and misunderstood due to their diversity. Simultaneously, we aim to launch communication and awareness campaigns on this topic, which unfortunately remains little known worldwide. Our objective is to create local hubs in every country.
Awareness is the key to any profound change, and our vision is built entirely upon this principle. We want to make the world aware of our existence, teaching people that there are different ways of living, thinking, and perceiving reality. We aim to educate society on how to listen to those who are different. In our ideal world, diagnoses occur at an early age, and concrete support is provided to both the individual and the families involved. We want to demonstrate that, although structurally different, if equipped with the right tools, we can provide substantial and concrete help to the entire human species.
Our values are rooted in profound respect for all forms of diversity. We promote understanding, open-mindedness, and unity. We strive to guide humanity towards improvement and the full development of its potential, fostering the growth of both the collective and the individual by focusing on creation, inventiveness, and innovation.
