Thank you for your perspective on my anecdotes. Your idea about DD possibly being concerned about disappointing her father does sound like a very plausible alternate explanation. It's also interesting to hear that the adult/child boundary fuzziness could also be caused by either giftedness or ADHD. I love the story of your DC2's disappointment with the reality of teachers, after having DC1 be their first.

I agree that it will be interesting to see how DD evolves socially, if we can help her manage her ADHD.
