I am definetely not gifted. Bright but not gifted.
In the uk they didn't test at all. My ds is way brighter than me and all the rest of my family. He knows it too and everybody else does. Because we don't have any experience of children like this I spend a lot of time trying to explain his behaviour and reaction to things.
He is so different and marches to his own drummer that life is becoming increasingly difficult. He is largely misunderstood too by all my family but me.
It is very hard and lonely. That is why it is so great to have discovered this board.
It kind of knocks the genetic theory on the head too.
