[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is b.s. to say that these kids 'think differently.'  I honestly don't think they do, including my own kid who will be in AAP next year.[/quote]

DC who is in AAP definitely thinks differently. Sibling is more mainstream (said lovingly ;) ) and is not in AAP.[/quote]

^ to add, we also told DC1 that AAP wasn't about smart, but those who think differently, work more quickly and do better with different challenges.[/quote]

"Work more quickly" - not sure that's true.  Think differently?  Not sure that's true for the most part.  I have to say that nearly all of these responses are precisely what I don't want to tell my child nor do I want my kid hearing something like this from your kid.  [/quote]

This is what we said to OUR kid. He was told not to discuss with others so he didn't. But we had to explain to him why he was going into a program and didn't want to say something jerky like "because you're so smart, Buddy."

Really, is it that awful?[/quote]
