Lori,
Here is my 2cents too. I was labeled as "gifted" as a child and I definitely don't have the "gift of gab". I think that is more of an extrovert/introvert issue and gifted people can be either. Also, if you've read any of my posts in the 2e area, you know I definitely don't have all the answers for my 2e!!! :-)

I'm with Trinity, I think you should ask for accommodations. Have you had him tested? Do you know what his issues are? If so, maybe submit some information from his doctor's telling what his problems are and what kind of accommodations would be needed. The worst that could happen is they would say no - and they just might say yes!!! :-)
