hkc - I'll have to pick up that book. Interesting. Although our DS5 was never diagnosed with ADHD or anything similar, I can see how someone might mistake some of his behaviors/reactions as something other than gifted.
Not so much now, but when he was 3 and 4, he would get so excited about learning something new that he would run the length of the house and back. Now, he does similar running and jumping around when he's listening to books. This irritates me sometimes, and I quiz him to make sure he's listening, and he can usually repeat verbatim what I read. I think he just needs to be active sometimes.
And JenSMP - what incredible self-awareness your DS has to be able to explain that!
