your kid(s)? I don't know that it's related to the whole gifted thing or if it's related to some other things beyond our control, but it just seems that DS hasn't ever found that one friend who just gets him. Granted, he's only 9, but still. I'm sure that a lot of kids don't get him and he's easily bored or tires of some other kids, however, I just wish there was someone who understood him or was similar enough to...I don't even know what.

Lately, DS has been saying that he wishes he had a twin who liked the same things he did so that there would always be someone for him to play with. I explained to him that just because he would have a sibling doesn't mean they'd always want to play together - I think what he wants is a clone grin.

Anyway, just thinking out loud or on the keyboard as it were...
