She's very very intense and sensitive to environment (loud noises, smells, etc.) She's currently on an IEP for PreK for EBD, although hasn't had issues in class. I always figured her "EBD" like qualities were more a product of giftedness. Just a note, her oldest brother has ADHD and both oldest have anxiety as well. She had horrible tantrums until about a year ago and even now is very difficult to get to follow rules. She is very perceptive and really watches people and their reactions. Very very "spirited." When she's in a group or room of people most often she is just watching and observing all the kids and it's so apparent that she's trying to figure them all out.
She is more a loner than my other kids and seems to be more of a "deep" thinker. She really isn't into being a "pleaser." She's a bit the same as the boy you mention Dottie. She is somewhat limited in what she says. The tester noted that there were times during the test that she would make these big leaps and get difficult questions correct. Then other times when the tester couldn't figure out how/why she missed an easy one.....
