I am in the same boat with DS5. We have not tested yet, but my gut tells me he's gifted. I find that some people are offended by my assumption and so I'm careful about how I talk about it in certain settings. On this forum, though, I feel I can speak openly about my concerns, beliefs, expectations, etc. In the interim to needing testing, I'm educating myself...through this forum, books, etc. Am I 100% confident all the time? No, I have my doubts, but I've learned that until the time comes for testing, I just have to trust my gut.
