Growing up was a different world from what my DD is from (for me anyway) and you didn't hear the word gifted. Smart, bright, intelligent, etc. these were the words to describe the gifted population. When I had my DD I never really understood what we were experiencing. My GM was very clear on her opinion of DD's abilities and being a retired elementary school teacher she knew what she was talking about but never did she mention gifted. She did make a point to stress that DD was smarter than her and 'even' smarter than me. Okay ... news to me. I never understood that I was 'gifted'. It has been through evaluating DD that I have also been able to analyze my past. Things started to click. Yes, I'm gifted and yes DD is a higher LOG than myself.
