Hang in there! ICan! Being gifted is not at all related to being motivated to learn what other people say one should learn. That doesn't nescessarily mean that we adults stop trying, especially with our 2Elets.
What is her social life like? Does she have friends? How is she with extracurriculars? What do you use for learning materials? What about community college, or a local university? Has she taken the SATs for the talent search? What does she do during the summers? What does she do for fun? Are the SPD issues as severe as they once were? What does she do to try to manage them? Any luck with medications for the ADHD?
Does she have any ambitions at all? Can you bribe her to read, 'What High Schools Don't tell you?' - if she won't you might want to - it gives a good description of how to get inside your child's head and find out what their dreams are.
Does she have any interest in working? What does she do while you are working?
I hope we have a bouy to toss you, at the very least, enjoy the company!
Love and More Love (because sometimes that's what it takes!)
