Their suggestions are just that: suggestions. You know your son's strengths so document those. Provide a journal to them which includes his baby years of when he mastered milestones and also descriptions of his perfectionism. I add perfectionism because if they truly are a gifted program then they should understand this.
If you have any videos of what you described in reference to his questioning; definitely add them. And take pictures of whatever projects he has done that are uniquely him.
Now my question: What type of activities are they offering that you want to get your son in? I ask this because their suggestions suggest they lean more towards rigid academics at the early age and you might find this to frustrate your son, especially if he isn't into writing and drawing. My DD goes to a school where it is more rigid in the writing component and would have been a concern if she wasn't already writing at an early age. This said she has classmates, specifically boys, who still have problems with it but her school is one of encouragement and doesn't penalize them if they can't. I would do a little more research on the school and find out what they require of their students versus what they offer. Offering the opportunity to write and building from there versus requiring them to do so is a big difference.
We have a gifted school here but for some reason I have stayed away from it because I don't like the idea of testing DD at age 3 and they require that information to even consider the child. DD is a perfectionist, too, and one that doesn't open up to strangers very easily so I doubt her scores would really reflect her ability. The school she goes to is not considered gifted but is academic and challenging since it is a Language Immersion program and everything is taught in Spanish. Have you considered other schools?
