Hi Pam -
Here's a strange question - how do other people -of all ages react to your son, and to you when you share about your son's doings. If you don't know because you keep it to yourself - get him tested! (This is meant to be funny and 100% serious at the same time - wish I had a word for that!)
The next thing to look at is your expected school path. If it's homeschool, then you may not need it. Otherwise, get it.
My third perspective is your own experience with Giftedness. Is your family overflowing with support, information and acceptance? Was your own relationship to learning a thing of joy? Or do you still have a lot of baggage of your own? (Ditto for spouse, if applicable.)
Here's to enjoying the journey - sounds like you're off to a great start!
