[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I was just asked to remove a post naming the student's school. I'm not sure why that information is considered sensitive. But since it wasn't included in the article, maybe his parents don't want it publicized and I prefer to error on the side of caution.

But, since this caused me to read through this thread, can I just say that I don't believe I've ever encountered a less supportive group of people in my entire life than in this thread? Give the kid some credit. He seems like a well-rounded individual. His achievements are to be admired, not compared being Rain Man. What use is there posting a message warning that he might not have a "blissful existence"? I thought AAP discussions were to help people navigate the programs, not trash children's accomplishments. If this is what the forum has become, I'm not sure we need it. Please give a bit more thought to your posts.

I'm the blissful existence poster. OP made it sound like, "Now HERE is a fine specimen of giftedness and what it SHOULD be." My point was that this young man's profound giftedness does not mean he has some golden ticket and that he probably has struggles stemming from his brilliance. Definitely not a knock on the student, he's amazing.[/quote]
