Thanks for all the possible peeks into the future from BTDTs. Though we live near a big city (30-45 away), our local community is smallish enough we haven't found any groups targeting gifted kids. Sadly enough, probably the smartest kid my ds knows (my good friend's ds7) is not very nice to ds. My friend said that he is also feeling very lonley this year in first grade (more so than my ds)...but for some reason our boys haven't really meshed yet. Though my ds almost never argues with friends, they always seem to get into it when we get together. We're hoping that might change as the boys get older.
