I hardly think of myself as a success story but other people sometimes do. LOL. My DD9 is, I think MG but with maybe 3 or 4 Ruf-level traits added in. (I'm still a bit befuddled about the correlations between strict IQ scores and obvious personality traits.) --more on that later, elsewhere--
She has been very lucky because she has a great peer group at a good, small school where they differentiate but she still struggles with the "slow and boring problem." I feel downright blessed that she 's got this core group of five gifted girls in a group of 25 students aand that the school is very flexible about working out of level, flexible multi-age grouping etc. She, however, has great social skills which I was too weird to have. I think that that makes things easier.
This is in part because the public schools here are SO bad that advocate parents tend to push pretty hard to get into the school.
