I'm relatively new to gifted awareness myself, so I'm probably not much help. Just wanted u to know I can totally relate! My ds is 6, and if we weren't seeing inattention in the classroom along with major perfectionist meltsowns at home, we probably wouldn't have investigated further. In fact, truth be told, if I wasn't trying so hard to rule out ADHD I would never have discovered ds's behaviors were classic behaviors for an underachieving, underchallenged gifted child. You will get some good advice here.
