I googled this today and found:

In a March 2002 interview, his mother admitted copying the SAT score report of a neighbor's son and attributing the perfect math and verbal scores to Justin, then 6. She also said she had checked out a copy of an old version of the IQ test from the library and studied it with her son before Silverman tested him.

So, maybe he really was smart, but she definitely did a lot more than any of us here ever did, as far as being the "pushy mom."

By the way, I am a Super Lurker, so I apologize that I read every day and seldom post. I love to hear from all of you though.

Just by way of intro: I have a DD9 who is in DYS and a DS7 who is also highly gifted.

That's all I've got for now!
