IQ aside I have to say the times I think by dd's are truly special is when they display their amazing attention spans. My imposter syndrome tendencies are very strong 99% of the time but then I take my kids to a museum, or turn on a highly scientific DVD about evolution and they just soak it up and are totally entertained by something that it is seemingly well beyond their comprehension. When I am in similar situations with other, maybe ND kids but I don't really know how to tell, and they are all over the place. Not interested, bored, fidgety and the differences seem obvious and vast.
Oh and let me add these peers come from highly educated high income, top 1% families. I just don't think you can train attention span. Any experts out there???
