My DS6 son doesn't yet understand how different he is. This is wonderful so far, in most ways. Even though he is subject accelerated by 3 years and regularly comes home asking when school is going to "stop going so slowly", he really doesn't know how far out he is. (In fact the psych who wrote his evaluation noted that he doesn't know that he is gifted let alone profoundly gifted.) It's wonderful because he doesn't feel isolated and he's not conceited at all. It's not good because he doesn't know that there is anything to advocate for and doesn't speak up at school about how "slow" it is. I'm just wondering when it's going to click for him. We're not going to tell him anything. We're just watching him sort it out.
