Thank you, ladies. Also, I have read a ton of books since all of this. Can anyone recommend one that is more detailed about their personalities to see what I could expect in the future? He is strong willed as well; but he is fairly compliant with us. Most others don't know how to handle him, curiously. He does not throw major tantrums, etc. He may have a cranky moment, almost always due to being tired, or he says because he misses his Daddy while he's at work (long days). We then ask if he needs a break on the sofa or in his room, or some hugs; and he says yes to one or the other and when he's done, he's done. I really don't understand that aspect either. He just needs firm kindness; and he cannot be given an inch, or he'll work whoever until eternity.:) Why does he need such a different personality? And how do I explain this to others. I try, but they never seem to get. Although, they're probably just zoning out when I try to explain. Who knows. We think that he is the best kid.
p.s. I've read:
-Five Levels of Giftedness
-Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults
-The Mislabeled Child: How Understanding Your Child's Unique Learning Style Can Open the Door to Success
-Late Talker; and the Einstein Syndrome
-and I've poked around in the Visual Spatial Learner
