The support and information provided by this community has been invaluable for our family. I understand the feeling of isolation. Our two have been accelerated (in different ways), which certainly makes them and us different. However, as time goes by, we have discovered similar children and thus parents with whom we can talk openly. So far, that has happened at gifted workshops the kiddos have attended at a nearby university (we even saw someone from our town there... We had no idea they have an exceptionally gifted child) and with two coworkers who have older children who also were accelerated. People are out there, many are just a bit undercover...
