I hope you don't get scared away. For me, reading about some of the amazing things that other kids are doing sort of puts things in perspective. The good thing about this forum is that everyone is free to share their stories - it is hard sometimes in real life. But my favorite part of this forum is the sense of community and belonging, which I hope you find as well.

DS7's favorite science books so far have been the Simon Basher series, esp. The Periodic Table: Elements with Style. He's now into Life of Fred (math) books. He's also just getting into watching some of the Khan Academy science videos. This is definitely a great place to find resources!

I can relate to the mischief! Glad you're prepared. wink
