I can't tell you how many times in working with our schools and the private professionals who've worked with my 2e ds I've heard "We've never seen another kid like him". I suspect based on those comments and based on how difficult it's been to find anyone who's remotely in the same situation as us irl, that most highly capable kids are functioning very happily and are very neurotypical
Kids at the >99.9% level are one in a thousand and a tenth of those kids are one in ten thousand. Most teachers will never come across a single child at that level in their entire career.
We don't come across kids like ours in daily life because we don't meet thousands of other children and even if we did, it would be very hard to spot the difference between brilliant and atypical and just plain atypical, which seems more prevalent.
I'm looking for evidence of children who are >99.9% and who are otherwise completely neurotypical. According to the school's theory, they should outnumber the atypical kids by a wide margin.
