I know a child who, well before 5 years of age, could look a complex picture for about a minute and then draw a very close representation of the photo without having to look at the picture again! He also prints perfectly and can write anything he sees. I think he's gifted but his Mom's not so sure. Here's the funny part - the only subject he's having trouble in at school is ART b/c he wont sit still or follow directions. Hmmmm...
