I don't really post, but lurk quite a bit. My best guess is that DD(5) is just a hair below DYS...luckily, we are in a really good school district where the teachers adore her and have already figured out her abilities on their own...so I do not really have any advocacy struggles to share and other than some quirky over excitabilities (that I learned about here), I also do not feel qualified giving advice yet (she is only 5)...
I figure that as she progresses in school, there will be more opportunities through gifted programs and hope that she will continue to get more and more of her needs met. But I have to say, whenever she does something quirky, I check here and sure enough someone has posted about it and received numerous good feedback that I then leverage:)
So a big thanks to the regulars (mentioned above)and their ongoing good advice!
