ebeth, that is precisely the situation that we find ourselves in, too.


There is nothing wrong with our daughter that another couple of years isn't going to help-- probably substantially, given the trajectory ahead of her. (11 yo and in high school)

She's actually doing better than "typical" in terms of her age-mates, according to everything we can find on the subject. The problem is the inappropriate expectations placed on her because of the (marginally?) more appropriate academic setting.

This has unfortunately presented us with a series of unappealing options, none of which is anything close to ideal. We've chosen to try to support executive skill hothousing and offer educational supports within the bounds of 'normal' with the school and teachers' cooperation and approval, and keep our fingers crossed.
