I'm with ABQMom. Originally I started to read/post because I was so upset about the media betrayal and throwing around terms like "highly gifted" and "socially awkward". Once when my DD was about 5 someone told me very matter-of-factly, like she was trying to help me, that my DD would be more likely to develop mental illness because "brains that work that fast develop problems later on". What a thing for a mom of a bright and active little girl to hear - phew!
