[quote=Anonymous]DC was tested using the WPSSI-III at 3y4m and scored in the 60th percentile. Both DH and I were in the gifted programs in school and did very well. There is a streak of genius on my side coupled with ADD and mental illness. FIL was profoundly gifted and went to university at 14. Giftedness was not even on our radar until DC started speaking like an adult near 18 months, reading and adding at 2.5--shocking everyone. DC reads chapter books comfortably now at four (for fun, not forced), and can skip count any number (6, 12, 18...72.) Just figured it out--manipulates numbers better mentally than I do--taught me a few tricks. No concept is ever too abstract... Even with a test score that says average I believe pretty close to gifted, possibly 2e, because of genetics and performance.[/quote]
