Yes, I think that's part of what is difficult to grasp. We have IQ scores on paper, and school grades, and comments from others that he's gifted. But at home, most of the time, he seems like a pretty normal kid. We haven't been the parents who drill flash cards, or expose him to certain educational materials, etc. So his 'giftedness' was a bit of a surprise to us, particularly the level of giftedness. We just want to do what is best for him, but it's all so new, we aren't exactly sure what is best. First up is getting a 504 to help with ADHD and hopefully getting them to allow him into the gifted program at school. Currently researching and pulling our paperwork together.
