I have been on the fence for some time about whether my DS7 is truly a candidate for DYS. He meets the test score criteria (as noted below), but when I reach the question about "prodigious talent" on the application, I am at a bit of a loss. He has a broad set of interests and participates in things he really loves, like drama workshops, community sports programs and science camp. Fortunately, we are also able to expose him to loads of the arts (concerts, plays, museums, etc.). As of yet, he has not expressed a deep interest in developing a particular talent. Am I reading too much into these questions? Is there truly an expectation among DYS participants that, by this age, something would have "clicked"? If anyone has had similar feelings about entering the DYS process, I would love to know how your situation resolved.
