He is just completely exhausting. Friends will sometimes see this and say "Oh, it's kind of cute." Maybe it would be, if it weren't ALL THE TIME.
Anyone else?
Kind cute, maybe. It may also be kinda ODD, as in oppositional defiance disorder.
Hoagies Gifted Education Page has a
page dedicated to ODD resources, which mentions ODD.
SENG has a webpage on
Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of gifted kids.
Thanks Indigo, I appreciate that you might have thought that I meant that he is defiant. But actually, it really has nothing to do with that. He is not an angry or defiant or oppositional child. In fact, he is a very loving and eager to please child. It's just that he is very intense. Put another way, it's like he's 1000% involved in every conversation.
