I'm the mom to a 3 year old little boy who is HG. I've had an idea that he was really smart for a while, but only just got him tested recently. Now, I'm admittedly a bit nervous and feel like I need to learn a lot more to best support my son.

He also is very sensitive to light and sound and textures of food and it was recommended I bring him to sensory processing therapy. Anyone have experience with this with a perfectionistic young boy who isn't likely to willingly participate?

Also, all of my son's "playmates" are around his age, but not compatible with his interests and he doesn't enjoy his time with them. Where do I find him friends that he can better relate to? Are there local gifted communities? How do I find them? I did sign him up for Mensa and I'm awaiting the acceptance (mailed it in today).

Thanks,
Amy
