I never had IQ testing done as a child, but probably would fall in the PG range. I skipped a grade and was still valedictorian senior year, despite skipping school a lot. (Unfortunately, then went on the not-so-good in college trajectory that seems to be common in kids who never learn how to learn.)
I've always been extremely sensitive/empathetic to other's feelings.
Unfortunately, my son (4) seems to share this characteristic. When we have a good day, it's really good. But when we have a bad day, it's really bad. We feed off the negative or positive energy.
I assume that there are plenty of gifted adults on this forum as well and was wondering if anyone has good tips for managing your own overexcitabilities? I've only recently learned of the concept.
