I have a D (now age 15) with a NVLD. She is also highly gifted, and it can be a crazy combination. She is sooo smart. But she is also disorganized (got an F on an assignment yesterday because she forgot her foreign language workbook at home...). For my D it has been important to find ways to link her up with other gifted kids so she feels more "normal". She attended Davidson's THINK in Reno last summer, and also has some contact via a CTY-related forum. I am wondering whether you should be looking harder at your school situation, too; that might be more important that continuing to try to communicate with him about his diagnosis.
