My son has extremely good processing skills. He is a unusually fast reader. He makes connections at the speed of light.
I think it is funny because they probably aren't disputing that there are children with standard deviations to the left on the bell curve (by federal law we know they exist and there are names and labels associated with those differences from the middle of the curve... the terms used to label them do change over time to be less offensive) so it is funny that they can't admit that there are going to be children with standard deviations to the right and there has to be a term for it even if it is a made up nonsense word.
If I had to come up with a term not using gifted I might say..."freaky smart and a lot of work"...you try living with him
