[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 530046, member: 11847"] You are right! Partner is VERY well adjusted so wether it is "normal" or not, I'll leave him alone for now. When he plays with other kids (like at the park where I can see it), he runs around with them and screams stuff lke "spider-monkey" (I think it's from a cartoon) and just has fun with them. He naturally makes friends but he has been around our very small community for a long time (at his scale. since he was 3) and knows everyone. His teacher says he has great imagination when it comes to drawing and writing (he is quite advance in his school work). What also made me wonder: at the parent teacher conference I asked tje teacher wether he should skip a grade or not. I just wanted her opinion just because family members had mentioned it. But he very well adjusted socially so I did not think it was a good option right now. She basically had the same line of thoughts and said we just have to make sure he gets more advance work so he won't get bored. Then I asked about the intellectually gifted program and she said it was almost impossible to get in but we might have to consider it in a few years. I concluded saying that Partner was bright for sure but I did not believe he was exceptional or out of the ordinary. She did not go into details but said she was not so sure and named his extensive vocabulary has an example... I had never realized it and honestly I still does not. He is my oldest so whatever he does seem normal to me. I guess you all kind of think of Asperger's... which is fine to me! He is a no problem child, so who cares? But it is good to keep in mind if he starts having some issues some day. [/QUOTE]
