Do you ever find yourself thinking back to different events and thinking how much sense things make now that your kid has been identified as GT?
Looking hindsight, a lot of things make more sense.... though, it wasn't a smooth ride. My 15 year old so was identified in kindergarten - without a doubt. The doubt began around 3rd grade because of serious underachievement and non compliance (excellent test scores). By 5th, I exited him and by the time he was in 7th, he wanted to be identified again so we did the full battery of tests offered in a new district. He was one of two students accepted into the GT program after testing 75 students and again, the director tells me "without any doubt"
Last year, he was finally diagnosed with ADHD and he had made an incredible turn around with completing work.
Sometimes I feel like his combination of giftedness and ADHD has caused many to question his abilities and my parenting harshly.
