[quote=Anonymous] It's difficult at that age because you don't know whether the issues you're seeing are lifelong or just temporary. As in, does your kid have ADHD and maybe a high IQ, or is it all his 4 year old self and he'll grow out of it? We initially held our son back a year, but realized he was bored academically, so he skipped ahead to age-appropriate grade. He's twice exceptional (ADHD/ASD and high IQ), which means that throughout K-12, there's been a discrepancy between his social skills and his academic skills. The solution was magnet and advanced courses, honestly. Kept him engaged at school. The social part was always going to be tough for him any which way. Now he's in college, in a super nerdy major, and just finding his people. [/quote]
