[quote=Anonymous]Well, maybe she is weird.  So were Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Albert Einstein.  They marched to the beat of their own drummers.  My DC is weird too, really, based on what our culture currently expects.  Think about it -- the ability to produce in certain ways, under certain time frames, certain work as they engage their peers and adults in even more prescribed ways.  Lake Wobegon children -- all the children above average in everything.  Are we all good at everything?  No, we have strengths and weaknesses, which we allow ourselves to have as adults.  But our kids in school?  Nope.  All skills, all the time with the right social norms on top of it.

Is your beautiful child "weird?"  Most likely.  And may have trouble gelling with the mainstream kids.  My advice is to help her feel confident in your love for her so she can always have home as a sanctuary.  And find multiple social outlets for her so she has more than school as a potential peer group (church or synagogue, scouts or camp fire, non-profit communities or volunteer groups, etc.).  Best of luck to you all. [/quote]
