    I just happened across a link to a powerpoint tht describes gifted kids in a simple yet accurate way. Thought I'd share it. It's from a school district in Texas so if your not in Texas you can ignore the part about how to get tested there.

    They interrupt others because they know what the other person is going to say and they want to move on in the conversation.

    It really appears that this district has a great understanding of the GT population. It would be nice if all districts did...

    Wish I knew also. DS blurts out every answer while the teacher is still asking. I know he is hoping to hurry things along so they can move on to the interesting part of the lesson but unfortunately he doesn't realize that that IS the lesson. And more unfortunately his teacher doesn't realize that this is why he is constantly interrupting.
    Let me know if you find a solution.
