how does one assume a child is ignoring other kids because he is thinking above them,especially at 3.5 years, when he isn't being supradvanced overall and doesn't impress me with brilliant comments (other than, in my son's case, he reads well)?

This is something people told us for years, and sometimes still do: oh, he's just too smart for the other kids, that's why he doesn't engage with them. Well, actually, he wanted to engage but hadn't a clue how to do it. The lack of subject matter in common was only part of the problem: the other, bigger problem was his deficient social skills. We still run into people who don't understand this.

This is an area where giftedness can mask disability. Not true in all cases, but true in ours.
