[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a question - I always tested in the 99th percentile, tested at genius levels as a child, was skipped a year but never had social or emotional issues as described.  Would I then not have been considered gifted under these rules?

No judgment - just curious.  I get that there are kids that do have true problems due to giftedness.[/quote]

Guessing you would be Type One: Successful.

Agree!  My daughter is challenging/creative.  We were warned by her ped (developmental specialist) and her K teacher that if not addressed she could pull away from school within a few years because she's not getting the challenges that she craves.  With outside activities (destination imagination type programs) and trained special ed teachers in the aap program she has become more of the autonomous.  Her K teacher said many times that she was an intrinsic learner so she didn't worry too much about her not continuing to learn while in 1st/2nd grade because she knew how much she was doing outside of school, but she was concerned with how she would feel about school if the teachers didn't get her.  First grade was a nightmare, but 2nd was better and 3rd in aap was amazing.  [/quote]
