[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a NP and request more stories like the UNO child, please! I know not all folks with genius-level IQs are early readers. [/quote]

Yes, curious for stories that aren't just "could read Harry Potter by Kindergarten." That doesn't seem necessary nor sufficient for giftedness.[/quote]
I'm one of 4 siblings all highly gifted. 
I read at age 4. Came from a dysfunctional home so taught myself a lot. Up to calculus because my high school didn't offer it.

My younger sister never forgets a phone number after hearing it once. She started a non profit organization in 10th grade which is still going strong and now employs 10 people. She is now 28. Consider that she had zero family support.

2 out of my 4 siblings skipped and were then valedictorian of their grades (250+ students).

Our home was dysfunctional, dinner or food wasn't always available and we did our own laundry from age 6. We are all well adjusted successful adults and the one who isn't married has a very good job.
