[quote=Anonymous]I have sympathy for you, Op. my younger child is very advanced in reading and writing, but not in math. She will tell people if asked what she’s reading. She is 11 reading things I read in hs, and college. While she doesn’t brag, I have explicitly told her not to share things like this because it can make others feel bad or come across as arrogant. She understands and follows this advice. Not sure about AsD, but when kids are very intelligent, they often seem odd. My “genius” brother to this day brags about his scores, where he went to college, how many books he’s read, etc. and he has not amounted to much in life. He was constantly praised by parents and teachers growing up, but for other reasons had a poor self image (overweight, not successful, etc.) If you can gently correct her every time you see this behavior, and reinforce good behavior, I think she’ll get much better socially.
