The question isn't even required! It has a very different tone than the earlier version. I've filled out the prior version and the new one and I think the new one focuses much less on when a kid did something in infancy and much more on behaviors of children that like intense interests, ease of learning complex info, etc. I like it better for that reason.
The current application is exactly the same as when we applied on behalf of our DS12 at 7, with the exception of the milestone portion, which is now optional. I�m curious as to what the original application looked like. What different questions did it ask?
