Yes!! I've said over and over to friends and family "I just don't know what normal is." For example, DS8 was 24 months when he mastered the alphabet, which thanks to DD9 (16 months) made me think he was delayed. Good grief.

I think most/many G&T kids (2E or not) have areas of "normalcy" which is... normal. Coming from a 2E perspective (DS8 ADHD) I see "normal" as a deficit, but I have to remind myself that isn't always the case.
