[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've read a few times here that AAP Centers are a "more accepting environment" for kids who are "quirky."  I've also been reading about how there can be very little interaction between AAP and Gen Ed kids at Centers. So my sincere question: Do any of you with quirky AAP kids worry that they aren't getting the social feedback necessary to learn how to interact with a more representative population of children? In blunter terms: Do you worry about them getting more "quirky" because that's the norm in their AAP peer group and then having even more serious social issues when they hit middle school?[/quote]

I have two profoundly gifted kids. Nothing is going to make them like the other kids. My kids have decent social skills. They just  fit in with kids that are 2-3 standard deviations below them in intelligence.  The problem isn't that my kids are lagging in social development. The problem is that the other kids are lagging behind them in in intellectual development. [/quote]
