[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, here are the possibilities as I see them:

1. Your child's behavior is totally typical, just different from you.
2. Your child's behavior is unusual in some way, leading you to call her "quirky" (and "intense"), but you're not giving examples of that behavior, thereby leading DCUM to conclude erroneously that your child's behavior is totally typical, even though it isn't.

I don't know your child. You know your child. Which is it?[/quote]

She did give examples. The back flips and such as well as saying she was the most intelligent of them all ( :shock: ) and various other details. If you go back through the thread the OP has come back to add many comments along the way.

Nothing smacks of genuinely unusual about the child, however.[/quote]

again, we think all three of our kids are quirky. so are we! quirky isn't BAD.

my daughter is intense. I'm honestly not sure how to describe it...it's like everything is bigger for her. not
only in contrast to our boys but in constrast to every other child we know- even the loudest most active. she is FEARLESS. last night she found a chair and then a step stool, stacked them, climbed on top, undid the lock at the top
of the door, went outside, and was perched on the top of the monkey bars when I went to track her down, having left her for THREE minutes. she grabbed the iPad the other day and did the math game that our 6.5 yo is working on. everything she feels
is big. everything she does is big.
I'm
not sure how else to describe it honestly...

can you describe what exactly she can do academically?  What makes you think she is smarter than you or her brothers?  Has she been tested?[/quote]
