[QUOTE="Malika, post: 534414, member: 11227"] Lol, MWM, when you describe it like that, J really does not sound gifted AT ALL! I simply cannot imagine other kids calling him "Einstein" :) Does he have higher level special interests? I don't know about that, really - unless you count Spiderman and Power Rangers as higher level special interests (no, I agree, probably not...) I think his intelligence lies in a kind of quickness, an alertness about the world and in noticing details, practical details and in making interesting, imaginative leaps in his thinking sometimes. He is very curious about things, asks intelligent questions. Just bright, really, nothing off the charts, nothing approaching genius or anything like that. When you're with him, you just feel like a light is switched on, you know? [/QUOTE]
