[quote=Anonymous]Wow.  We have a DC who is as gifted as any DC on DCUM.  At 2 he was reading and grasped advanced geometry concepts that numerous people said they had never seen a child so young understand.

The gawked. And aahed.  And my son was expelled from multiple schools for violent behavior.  It has been a challenging ride we never would have chosen ever since. He is in 8th grade now and needs a string of complex help and IEPs. His gifts make it much easier to get supports than they might, I suppose, but it is clear he will not, despite gifts, be independent.  This year I've been feeling really defeated but understand he many not make it through a normal high school and have been researching more supported options.

Please, DCUM is the worst place to tell anyone this, but be careful what you wish for.  Your daughter sounds delightful OP. I wish you and your familar success on a great adventure.  If you want admission to the gothic side show, I love my son so much, but I love the world enough to tell you to think twice about it.   Good luck.[/quote]
