I couldn't wait until April Fools day to post this, but this is a friend's humorous suggestion for an alternative to the label: 'Gifted'

I think I like Obsessive Knowledge Accumulation Disorder (OKAD)better, but I have a hunch that you will be able to come up with an even better one.

Even though I'm being silly, I think that there is a way in which we parent would like some sympathy for the needs of our kids who are 'beyond Optimally Gifted' and having a label that pathologizes and captures the 'burn to learn' flavor - even in our imaginations - might provide some relief.

Love and More Love,
