[quote=Anonymous]Being gifted can put her out of sync with her peers in weird ways—look up “asynchronous development.” She may be highly sensitive too. I was an anxious gifted kid, diagnosed as an adult with adhd, and middle school was hell for me. Only one or two friends I saw outside of school, lonely, awkward, teased. It was rough. It got better though—I found peers in high school, and I have found friends since. I am married, I have a good community of friends. You can call it being a late bloomer—but I was slower to mature socially, stuck out like a sore thumb for being “the smart kid.” I eventually found my place. I offer that up as a positive anecdote. As for now, therapy or a support group could help—and any way to help her find peers more like her. And continuing to be a loving, supportive mom who sees her and loves her for who she is, which it sounds like you do. I wish I could hug you both. [/quote]
