I never had anyone ask questions about autism, but my neighbor did tell me that she thought dd9 had ADD. DD9 does not have ADD. Just another case of a misunderstood gifted child.

DD9 also has a photographic memory. Her pre-K teacher was the first person besides myself to notice this. I did not realize that it was unusual because I also have a photographic memory, though it does not function as well as it did before I had kids.
