Our DS6 has been working on anger problems for several years, and his teacher gave us an article that she found somewhere through this site that we found helpful in understanding it. I hope someone else can steer you toward the article on a description, as I didn't keep it. The article discussed GT ideas of friendship and how GT kids who have previously been considered to have "immature" social skills actually have *advanced* ones instead, which causes them frustration because the other kids don't expect as much out of a friendship as they do. They get angry, not because their social skills are low, but because they are expecting higher behavior out of other kids whose social skills are aligned with their age.
We found this helpful in dealing with DS6's frustration with other kids, because it was spot-on. He gets upset when the other kids don't act like he thinks they ought to act.
On a side note, this really bugged me:
I do know that the school has told me they are unable to challenge him in math because he is above everything they have there
What the heck, can't that school get higher level books? What do they think they are there for, anyway? Arrrgh, I would be tearing the place apart! (Sorry, my school frustration training has nowhere to go right now at our schools, so I have to let it out on everybody else's!)
