I remember clearly picking up the newspaper and telling my mom that I wanted to go to the Smurf's Ice Show ... there was a picture of Smurfette skating toward the camera. Apparently I was about 18 months old when that happened and she was so shocked that she had me read the whole article to make sure.

Since I've had my son, my mom has mentioned a lot of other things that I was never aware of -- talking in sentences at 6 months, cruising at 4 months, etc.

My mom had a tested IQ of 165 when she was 12 (about 50 years ago - so I don't know what type of test it was). I was never tested. I was one of the complacent girls. smile Even the Asperger's didn't become apparent until I was in my late 20s (beyond just being very socially awkward).
