Abstract: Although a great amount of literature about the definition and education of gifted students exists, information about gifted students with associated disorders is not so abundant. In this paper, we use case studies to share how separation anxiety disorder affects gifted children. The first case is a girl who suffers from symbiotic separation anxiety. The second case deals with a girl suffering from threctics. The question is: Is the child afraid of going to school or is there a fear that she would be unable to adapt as a gifted child? Is the child afraid of being separated from her parents or does she suffer from anxiety at the thought of new responsibilities? The two case studies highlight these intriguing questions.
