[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a 4th grader at a HGC.  She didnt talk early, and in fact too speech therapy at school until 3rd grade.  (articulation issues)  She has a large vocabulary.  I always knew something was unusual, but didn't know what.  She was/is sensitive to textures and noise, and had a tough time getting along with other kids and understanding how they played.  She developed deep interests that weren't typical for her age (a 6 year old checking out adult books on Charles Darwin?  She couldn't read them, but she wished she could...) ... She's just... unusual.  We didn't do anything to make her that way.  If we supplemented with anything, it was with science and history, where her passions lie.[/quote]

This sounds very similar to my daughter except for the speech part.  She was an early (and often!) talker and that hasn't changed.  She didn't teach herself to read; she entered K not knowing how to read, but by the end of K was reading the Harry Potter series.[/quote]
