Don't let that one teacher get you down... we get a conclusive 2e diagnosis for D15 right after she was accepted to THINK at Davidson last summer. D went to THINK (with a lot of fears on my part that she might not succeed, I guess now that we had a "name" for her 2e-ness). They were very supportive, and she did very well. Just some proof that needing accomodations does not mean that he is not gifted, or that he can't succeed with a gifted curriculum!
