In the end, now that DD is 8, I'm actually happy that she wasn't full-grade accelerated, from a social perspective, being that there seems to be so much unsupervised time at school and she's keen on keeping tabs on what kids are doing and reading and buying... Some of the girls she was playing with on the playground last fall are now chasing a couple of 5th grade boys every day after school. Luckily she's not the least bit interested in joining them right now. I can wait for whatever middle school will bring!!
DeeDee I have been reading alot about Aspergers and I don't know about DD but I've unofficially "diagnosed" DH! I told him last week and thought he would bristle, but he quietly said, "I think you're right!" (lovely words for a wife to hear at any rate)
There was a collective sigh of relief...it explains so much!
Anyway I have a question for you since you seem to know quite alot. If it's okay I'd like to send you a PM with my question.
