Is this a sign of gifteness? I think it's a sign of his Intensity, which is probably related to his giftedness. I know that not all gifted kids are talkitive, but I know that whatever my son does, he does with gusto, even if it's sitting on the couch zoning out. I used to worry that he was having slight seziures. Grinity
My son zones out a lot, especially in the car...he is usually counting something (like mile markers or windshield wipers going down) or thinking about something very hard....like trying to figure out how Santa sorts all of his presents and how he knows which gifts go to which child...and how the sleigh can fly since reindeer can't...etc etc). although he looks like he is out if it...he is ALWAYS thinking about something very intently. sometimes I wish he could just chill a little, but that's not what he does I guess.
