Hi Dottie & Dazed

Thanks for the words of support - I guess there will always be that element of doubt at a young age and especially as we were so unaware of what was going on with DS because we had no family or friends while on our world travels to act as comparatives, so for a long time we assumed what he did was simply normal for toddlers/pre-schoolers and we still really have a job working out where he's at because now he is with older/GT kids! I was quite worried about his results because with the grade skip I'd assumed he must be quite up there but then when I did the sums the way dottie does them I came up with a total that said 'not gifted'. Anyway as everyone here says he's thriving at school at the moment which is great so nothing to worry about there and we can see how things go in the future. Will keep you all posted as things progress and we learn more and hopefully I can add something to the forum with some of our experiences and a different perspective from the land of the Kiwi.
