Hi
I found this by searching for info on my nephew. Our situation is a bit different than most. My neice ( who is like my child ) and her husband adopted 2 children from Korea. They both are exhibited signs of being gifted. We are a very close knit family.
The problem is with my neices son Cooper. He just turned 4. He is in pre-school 2 hours- 2 days a week. The teacher has told my neice he does not interact with the other kids and they are having problems getting him to respond to them and the kids. He prefers to play by himself. They want to have all kind of testing to see what HIS problem is. Now at the start of school he was doing fine, this has just started recently. we have made an appoint with his dr to talk about things before we do the testing. My opion is he did all that they have to offer and he is bored, they told us they had to move him around at story time and quiet time because he talks to much. He has been talking since he was 9 months old, complete senteces by 12-14 months. He can reason, he interacts at home fine, he plays great with his sister. He is timid and shy and very immature for his age. I think he is just so different then the other kids and they do not know how to deal with him. I believe they think he has some type of learning/emotional disability not that is is very advanced intellectually. We do not even know the right questions to ask and if we should do the testing at all. I am sorry this is so long.
Thanks
