I've joined a few local homeschooling groups, but haven't come across any children like DS. Where are they hiding? smile

That's interesting. I've found a number of homeschooling families that don't ID their kids as GT, but they clearly are. They seemed to have intuited that their out of the box kids needed a different educational solution and chose to homeschool. I had to talk a mom into letting her obviously HG boys sign up for GT class offerings that would be perfect for her kids. She was really nervous about it! grin ROFL - I guess I was a few years ago too.

Anyway - I sign my kids up for things like science enrichment, engineering team, book clubs, chess club. GT kids have surfaced in all those arenas. We are in a major metro area with probably a high % of secular GT homeschoolers. Keep looking - hoping you find some friends for your child!
