We just had DD5 tested because of some issues with handwriting. I figured she was more mildly gifted give or take a little. She seems to regular compared to her 12 yr old EG/PG brother. Ha I was shocked with a score just 2 points below him. She gets along with anyone. She can read people and situations a 1000X better than he could at 5. She is less intense and goes with the flow better. He is more quirky and walks to a different drummer. He struggled to adjust to school and situations up until about 9 or 10.
Lots of GT kids are perfectly "normal" by outward appearances, but we hear about the quirky oddballs a lot more.
We have been doing Handwriting without Tears all summer. I give her every possible opportunity to write the "list" for us. Sometimes it's a grocery list, somedays it is the To Do List for the day. She doesn't like writing, but the "list" give her a feeling of a role and importance.
