DD7 is not the child that it is just very evident such as discussing DNA at 2. It's just not 100% clear. I would be shocked if she was not at minimum MG and would question why she is so different than her peers. I mentioned in another post that I have known something is different about her for a few years. A lot of the posts I read are very similar to her. I'm not around many children to know she is very beyond her peers. The children I am around that are her age, she is clearly very different. From an outside perspective they don't get her, she is more intense in everything she does, i.e excitement, hugging, riding her bike, etc. her peers often times either don't want to play with her or are yelling at her because she is doing her own thing and not what they want or she is so deeply interested in a bug or the like that she doesn't hear them. None of the other kids act this way. We call her a runner because after learning to walk she started to run and never stopped. She runs more than walks and often times as a toddler would run and explore. I'm sure many can relate on here but none of my friends children do/did these things. I often times wished I had calmer children that were satisfied with playing on the floor quietly.
As far as I know DH and I were never tested. I have talked to my mom many times about DD and myself and she has never mentioned that she knows my IQ. DH has always been incredibly smart to me and I recently found out he had a perfect score on a test he took after high school. Academics have always come easy to DH and I and we have never had to study much to get good grades. Unfortunately, because academics came so easily we never developed study skills. It would've been helpful for college as we are both procrastinators because we know it doesn't require much effort on our part to get an A.
