Some time ago, I attended a parenting lecture where a continuum was shown that depicted the left versus right brain characteristics. Whole brain function was, I guess, ideal. To the far left side was Asperger's and to the far right was ADHD. I have no idea whether there is any validity to this model. Even if it is correct, it is obviously overly simplified. Each of my (right-brained, by other descriptors) GT kids has been suspected of having either ADD or ADHD. I believe many left-brained GT kids are assumed to have Asperger�s. In your son�s case, I think he is just being stereo-typed because he is gifted, has uncommon mannerisms, sophisticated interests and can spell really well
Is your son upset about what his friend said to him?
