We also didn't test until it was needed to get into a cool program. It was nice to have outside confirmation of what I saw with him. We homeschool too now, and evry few months it seems we are reevaluating and again deciding to continue homeschooling. I am considering doing yearly acheivement testing just like GF2 in order to demonstrate that homeschooling is working just fine. Besides, my kid loves tests! Lol. Public school didn't work out too well.
It is a bit isolating having such an unusual kid. I have an easy way to be able to talk about it a bit though, with long time friends because they watched us go through the process of getting lots of therapy for his aspergers diagnosis. So, the fact tht he's getting special things for being super smart now kindof balances out and my friends are happy to see that. Thank goodness.
It will be ok!
