[quote=Anonymous]IDK. If your daughter is gifted, gifted children often mature socially less quickly than other children. My IQ is in the highly gifted range, and until I was about 15 or 16, I was quite blunt with people. Not hurtful, usually, but more direct and honest than my peers. I later held jobs that required exquisitely honed diplomatic skills. So somewhere along the way I did learn to pick up social cues more adeptly. However, I did go through a phase when I went the opposite extreme and I was very reluctant to share my thoughts or be assertive, which is not good either. Please don’t be so hard on your daughter. Just because she’s different, it doesn’t mean she’s “wrong.” She sounds like a normal 13-year old to me. You may be hyper vigilant and hypersensitive n a way that she is not. [/quote]
