Rac, thanks for sharing your story
We are not in the highly gifted all around (I think), we hit the ceiling only on VSI, though he is gifted overall. But on VSI he is also very creative.. He can work with any materials today, creating various contraptions, that actually works. It is also totally his own initiative. I don't have that level of imagination.
We also just found out from pediatrician that his vision is not 20/20. The HG school director actually told us her suspicion about his vision earlier because of some scores discrepancies, and to get it checked.. But pediatrician said to wait because it might self correct at some point, as he is still very young. We both wear glasses, and I started wearing glasses very young. In second grade I couldn't see letters on the blackboard even when I sat on the first row, and I was stupid enough to not tell my parents for a while (afraid of bullying). I really hope it won't be as bad for him, or that it will self correct (some).
