[quote=Anonymous]I recommend CTY outside of school, and lots of enrichment. I think you may have to make peace with a school that provides less than you're seeking academically. As a separate issue, I would encourage you to consider your son's sensitivity and emotional reactions apart from his need for higher-level academics. I don't think attaching it to his giftedness is all that helpful here. There are profoundly gifted kids without these issues, and un-gifted (to use an awful term) kids with them. Maybe reading about 2E kids would be helpful, or teaching some of the self-regulation strategies used for kids with ADHD or ASD. It sounds like his lack of ability to self-regulate is causing friction at school and needs addressing, and the giftedness lens may not be the most useful way to achieve that.[/quote]
