Fwiw, I think that many of us posting here are not mental midgets so there is a danger that we can think our kids are 'normal' in terms of mental ability. It's only once they hit school that it becomes apparent In my experience.
Thanks for saying this. There are times I wonder what's wrong with me that I didn't recognize just how gifted he was sooner or even now, sometimes underestimate ds11. Part of the issue is asynchronicity, part of it is he doesn't fit the precocious stereotype one sees in the news, part of it is his gifts present differently than his brother's, and part of it is I suppose I don't know what's typical since my ds24 is gifted and ds11's friends are all gifted.
