Way back when, I tried to avoid dressing DS in ways that require shirt tucked in, except for special occasions. Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com

I'm with you there! If you get a chance to hear Josh Shane talk about 'Non-linear Thinkers' go listen. Lots of us Gifties experience the world as 'Forest' and miss some of the 'Trees.' It's part of what confuses us about our own intelligence: Ahhhhhhhhhh! Finally some sign that I am not just a space puppy...or we are all space puppies. My little sister and I always joke that if we worked at the local 7-11 and got robbed we would tell the police...Ummmm it was a guy, I guess, with ummmmmmm hair? Maybe? But we would remember exactly how we felt and an overall "vibe" or impression on the robbers state of being.

I can spend a few hours with a person and not remember how she looked like. I am a visual learner so I don't really understand how that's possible. LMom

I honestly think that somehow, our brain is able to perceive that which is of import vs. that which is not, so while we may not remember sill y details, we do remember that which is important (maybe why our kids don't remember rote while they do remember conceptual?).
