I have no idea if my child is truly gifted but he is bright.
I wanted to ask what some of the parents in here think of something he has been doing.
Although he could count by 20 months, he now refuses to say, '10,11 and 12'. He calls them 'zeroteen, oneteen, and twoteen'. He wants to know why they don't have 'teen' endings like, 13, 14 etc. and reasons that his way is better. Is this type of thinking in a 39 month old typical or advanced?

LOL. You've come to the wrong place if you want to know what is typical, since none of us here really know what ND kids do.  "Zeroteen" is pretty cute, though.

I think that it's advanced, but I may be biased... My son didn't think any of the "teen" numbers fit the pattern, so he renamed them oney, oney-one, oney-two, oney-three, etc. I think it shows pattern recognition and logical thinking

I would say advanced.....it definitly shows a different way of thinking that most kids do not have at that age. Counting to 20 is advaced for a 39 month old. My DD 2.5 can count to 25 and her ped said normal for 3 is counting to 5, although some can count to 10.
I never know what is normal LOL

Thank you for the replies. I get comments like the one above from his OT therapist (he has a 'sensory cluster' w/ movement and can't sit still). She tells me it shows his advanced 'cognition' blah blah.
I hope he makes me a very proud momma when he learns to behave (he clowns around too much).

Don't worry about clowning around...DD is a huge clown, she wil no the right answer but give a wrong one and grin or laugh histerically....And heaven forbid she thinks the question asked of her is easy or it is a skill she already has mastered, then she is total clown.....i have heard they grow out of it....my fingers are crossed that she will. LOL

But his sounded more like one-d-one, one-d-two, one-d-three, etc. Took me a while to realize he wasn't mispronouncing "twenty"
