Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy No filter!!!

Hello everyone,I am new here and i wanted to ask a few questions.1,does anyone else,s child have a no filter when speaking?My oldest grandson is highly intelligent but his mouth has no filter,if he is thinking it he will say it.And question number 2.Where can i go to understand the Olsat test he took?
Thanks

Hi there,

I'm afraid I can't help with the OLSAT. But I will say - you are not alone on the filter issue. I actually think it's pretty common. And for sure our DS has the same thing. The things that pop out of his mouth sometimes ....

Best of luck helping your grandson,

You do not mention how old your grandson is, making it difficult to gauge whether this may be a normal phase. That said, given that you are concerned about his lack of a filter when speaking, your grandson may one of many people who may benefit from direct teaching regarding social interactions (information and behaviors which others may acquire easily and naturally through casual observation and everyday situations). This article may be of interest.

Sorry ,he will be 12 in January.

He is 11 years old,Im sorry.
