Thank you so muchall for your replies. I feel good reading that its worked successfully for others. I havent read anything specific about the pros and cons of different types of gifted acceleration so i was worried that everyone here would say 'no, thats a disaster!'.
I actually really think this will be very good for DS as it may open up more peer options for him. He is a very different type of kid (super creative, not very sportif, swedt natured) and this is amplified by his high level of giftedness but also his Aspergers and ADHD. He makes friends easily when he finds someone he connects with, so I hope that will help.
I agree about making sure he misses nothing special. I am the type of parent who is on top of all these type of things so I think we can manage that well.
Pinecroft - i will be interested to hear how you go aswell. I will let you know as I hear things and hoefully it is organized
