The problem arises when these adults expect our son's emotional and social skills to be that of an adult also! He is expected to share his toys at all times without question and to understand when other children act negatively towards him. Like my husband says, "we are telling you our son is gifted; we didn't say he was perfect."

<nodding> So perfect a description. Thank you for that.
