Thank you Kriston. And I find acs's comments very useful and I understand the emotional satisfaction achieved by Ruf's book. I too experienced that.
Ruf's book was helpful in understanding that there are differences between gifted children -- particularly how gifted. The reinforced point that a moderately gifted child will behave and respond to traditional education much differently than an exceptionally gifted child.
In my case, after the emotional high of saying "I am not crazy" this is real, there was this feeling of "now what" and I did not get clear direction on where to go, or how to do it. Especially when I read that level 4 & 5 should be able to complete the elementary education curriculum in a year. I did not know what to do with that. And when I put that in the forum, the responses I got back were: "you kind of ignore that" I paraphrase. But did anyone here experience their PG kid doing the elementary curriculum in a year and have them start college at 10 or 12?
I did not get one response that said yes. In my own research, particularly looking at the Giga Society that does have level 5 people their view is that there are only 7 people in the world at that level at any one time. Or are they level 6?
Ruf's book was a very intersting starting point, but just that, as starting point for me.
