Twinkle Toes,
Your DD sounds almost exactly like my DD7 with the exception that my DD has not shown any real giftedness except in art. I wish I had an answer. We are seeking out some way to help her regulate better as the older she gets the less tolerant others become of these intense behaviors. FWIW we tried ADHD meds this summer and it was not effective in our case. She has been in therapy all summer also to help see if we could tame things down a bit. In two weeks she goes to a psychiatrist to be evaluated as well. I will let you know if I find out anything of value - which of course may or may not apply to your DD. In the meantime - I empathize with you wholeheartedly!
