Which begs the question - are these results really as bizarre as the town is saying or is it typical in a 2E situation and they just don't have the needed experience?
Very high IQ kids are relatively rare in the population. The ones with disabilities tend not to be identified as gifted. The school may have seen kids like yours before and not known what they were dealing with; or they may never have seen one.
Our gifted teacher says that in some 30+ years of teaching ours was the first IEP meeting she ever attended. To me, that says gifted kids with disabilities are vastly under-identified as gifted. They mostly struggle along. Cricket's posts here about her younger DD seem to me a characteristic 2E experience.
So: good that you're figuring out your DD. You and your professionals will teach whatever school she attends a whole bunch.
