He hits the DYS criteria almost every time up to bat though, so by their standards the label does fit. Knowing what I do about test data and extremes, I think it's more reality than denial. But that's just me, grin .

P.S...I do agree with Grinity about the need for services at multiple LOGs!!!

Talking about our DS ... it really depends on which day you ask me. He's definitely different, but he's also definitely atypically gifted. HG? PG? Don't know. Depends on how you measure it. IQ? HG. Achievement? PG in his subject area... maybe even more.

This is an interesting discussion though because I do think about it from time to time as well.
