[quote=Anonymous] My profoundly gifted son was a slightly late talker and he still has issues with articulation, although he does and always has had an extensive and advanced vocabulary. He started reading at age 4 1/2 and quickly progressed. Now at barely 6 he reads (content appropriate) novels as well as a variety of nonfiction. He loves encyclopedia type books, especially with a medical, science or space focus. My older son is very bright but is closer to being more regularly gifted if not on the borderline. The early clues for me with my younger son were advanced spatial awareness skills, he could do hundred piece puzzle's by age 2 1/2. Early recognition of shapes, colors, letters and numbers. Advanced sorting skills. And just an overall ability to grasp concepts that wouldn't be interesting to most children his age. He has struggled socially because of this unfortunately. [/quote]
