[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I don’t know what your real question is. You seem to be trying to convince the board of your DD’s giftedness. I can assure you, the lack of personal hygiene or ability to make or keep friends has nothing to do with being gifted. And if she is struggling with time management in MS, HS will be a nightmare. I would test and get her help ASAP. 
But then you say she is a model student and teachers think you are nuts. So she has no EF issues in school? Just at home? And let me ask, who decided she needs an introduction to the quantum world now, her or you? 
Just saying. 
Also agree with other PPs. County gifted designation is not gifted. It’s normal around here. Gifted is college at age 12. Publishing a book at that age, on your own. Winning math Olympiads for college students. Not just reading things. Get her tested. Get her help.

All of this. I'd also add that while getting your daughter help, you should seek help yourself. If your daughter in fact gets diagnosed with ASD or ADHD, I don't think you would take it kindly. Go speak to a therapist about why that is and why you are so fixated on trying to label your kid as gifted. [/quote]
