    Dear Displaced,

    This forum is for anyone and everyone who finds useful information! Like Lovemydd mentioned, we stumbled across this site when googling "help! my toddler is reading", before we knew or thought our child was gifted. There are so many people here who have been there/done that re: adovcacy, finding resources, testing, etc., and much of the advice applies no matter what flavor of gifted your child is. I hope you find some great information and support here.

    As others have said-- this is a place where all parents can come for help, advice, or just (sometimes) commiseration when you find yourself and your child to be out of step with the world at large. Come to that, I think that part of me occasionally wishes that the neurotypical people in all of our lives would read here a bit.

    The problems that come with being gifted definitely don't start at some cutoff point, whether that's DYS-eligible or not.

    smile A warm welcome, by the way.

    I would add that EG/PG kids are very rare. The reason this forum is such a great resource is because of the excellent posts not just of DYS parents, but also the large number of parents who have kids across the gifted spectrum.
