Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Is this Asperger's??

Thanks Dee... The doc is pretty well known and respected... he has always been on the fence regarding my kid so it will be interesting.
Amber - we are in Southern California - come on over for a music party!!!!
Grin - I have seen 1000's of kids - and you a so right. Throwing giftedness into the mix clouds the picture when there is also a disability to consider.

After all of the testing we had done for DS, I really thought, "well, that's that - he's just gifted" HAHAHA..... To think that I thought that was the answer and that life would go on so simply!!

Amber - i just looked at your posts, and not only are our kids alike with their Britney Spears obsession - they scored very similarly on their tests!! Where do you live?????

Sad, we live in the Midwest. . Maybe we will make our way put ere one day, we lived in the bay area for a few years and loved it.


I had to make my dh read your thread, he couldn't believe it either. Crazy!

When mine (gifted/AS) was 3-4 he spent a lot of time (I do mean a lot) writing out CD covers for imaginary CDs, and adding up the times of the songs. He found both the repetition and the math of it very soothing. But he was never obsessed by the music itself at that age. Later it went into music notation, again as a math sideline.
