Everything Pass the Potatoes has said, and what Kriston said about identifying 2E kids, speaks strongly to my experience.

The parent's picking up that book and putting it down again isn't the worst of it.

Can you imagine the scenario of school staff reading that book and using it to exclude kids who don't meet the milestones from the "gifted" label? Arming the school with this kind of information that doesn't include the caveats PtheP mentioned leaves the 2E gifted with even more hurdles to overcome in negotiating the school identification process.

I'm all for meticulous research that includes not just the typical gifted (I know, ha ha) but also the outliers.
