A memoir by Sumit and Viraj Dhanda. Twice Exceptional tells the story of a father who refused to accept the experts’ verdict and a son who defied his doubters — and what their journey reveals about the countless minds we’re failing to see.

Told in two voices — a father’s unflinching account and a son’s own typed reflections — the book moves between heartbreak and triumph. It’s a book for any parent who has ever lain awake worrying they’re not doing enough, for educators who wonder if their schools are supporting those who need it most, and for anyone who has ever felt dismissed or underestimated.

A profoundly moving story of love, sacrifice, and accomplishment, Twice Exceptional urges readers to presume competence — and to open the door to hidden minds waiting to reveal their gifts.
