Hi Mom2MrQ

I want to send a virtual *hug* your way.

Would you feel comfortable sharing more about these "quirks"?

While my dd6 does not have Asperger's, she has two very good friends (both 7 and soon to turn 8) who do. They were both diagnosed in the 1st Grade Year. While I am no expert, I may be able to provide some insight about what I see in my dd (giftedness) that is different from these other children who are both gifted with Asperger's.

I also know there are several more experienced parents who frequent this board who could probably provide even better information.
