[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are smart and so is DD. But DS is a real genius -- scary, almost. He's 13 and just runs rings around us. I think it's not very easy for him to be that way -- I wouldn't say super-smartness is 100% a blessing.[/quote] [/quote] I completely agree. I tested HG as a child, and I've always been a little out of sync. Things were okay in school where I was generally surrounded by bright people, but when I hit the workforce, I felt like many people were working in slow motion. I had a really hard time accepting that they weren't being deliberately lazy and stupid. I eventually figured out that my processing speed is faster than most people's, and that people are trying their best even when they seemed to be moving impossibly slowly. [/quote]
