[quote=Anonymous]OP it’s really not fair to your child to just pretend she’s just like everyone else to meet someone’s standards of “normal”; ie of average intelligence. It’s a gift. It’s also a drive. Not all highly intelligent children/ people have all these “sensory issues”. The world is full of very bright well adjusted happy smart people. In preschool is ok but it rapidly becomes not ok. My DC (at Ivy now) said finished everything on Monday and spent the rest of the week in school just waiting. All day every day just waiting for the rest of the class to catch up. Not allowed to say or act “bored” just waiting waiting waiting. During an illness wrote and published on an adult level in 7th grade. Enough. Needed to be with others like DC was and we changed schools — much happier. You need to accommodate your child. [/quote]
