OHGrandma, you asked a really good question that has made me think. If my husband "gets" it, I think it will help calm down some of the emotional distress (rampant??) in our house in that he can understand that son can't just switch from one thing to another right now because Daddy has decided to go outside and ride bikes with him, for example. Also, it would help me calm down and feel more understood and in-sync. And, I would feel like he's not criticizing me for talking about it or reminding us that we need to back off or provide more or whatever. That's not a total answer. Thanks for giving me something to think about.
And on the dumb remarks about "genius IQ": when I was tested many years ago (don't know which test), I was told my IQ was 132. When I told my husband, he simply said, with a disappointed tone, "Oh, so not smart enough to get into Mensa?". This at a time when I was in the bottom of a deep, deep depression. So, does that count as double GT denial? Maybe my husband is 2E!
Thanks, all, for the input. I emailed him the cheetah and left-handed articles.
