[quote=Anonymous]Has she been tested for Aspergers? It seems to me you should be looking for a developmental pediatrician to deal with her social issues as well. Its also important not to let giftedness blind you to real challenges. My DS with AS was also "extraordinarily smart" very early reader, and he is still smart, but pretty much succeeds academically if he's interested and struggles if he isn't. Some kids with AS do extremely well with rote learning but have trouble making the transition to abstract learning in mid-elementary. Of course, your DD hasn't been diagnosed with Aspergers but there are a lot of red flags in your post.[/quote]
