Hi everyone:
How wonderful to find this "community within a community." I am a Californian married to an Aussie, and we are raising our two kids in beautiful Sydney. Per my subject line, our 4.5 year old daughter is both HG and has PDD-NOS.
We have spent most of our energy over the past 2 years addressing her needs on the ASD side through ABA and some wonderful social group therapy, but now that she is getting ready to head to school, we are increasingly concerned about nurturing her gifts as well. We think (and HOPE) that we have found a great school in our area that truly "gets" the unique challenges and gifts of twice exceptional kids. Fingers crossed!
Look forward to getting to know the people in this group better. I am involved in a number of Australian-based ASD communities and a gifted families forum, but this is my first venture into the twice expectional on-line community.
Cheers from Oz,
Kristen
