[QUOTE="Risorgimento, post: 596193, member: 16349"] Thank you so much, these are both such wise responses. To be honest, I am completely against "making" a child quit an activity of interest, especially one that's a source of achievement for him, and that's especially true for music, which has been such a huge part of my life and my profession for many years. I got to the point where I couldn't take the rages and meltdowns, and suggested quitting to my DS, but it struck me that it would be unfair to make him quit because of MY discomfort, especially something he really loves and excels at. Also to frame it in a Christian context makes sense for us -- I will try that. Yes, DS is gifted in many ways, 2e is I guess the term, though it's a term I dislike. And now giftedness is also starting to be seen as spectrum-y, a special need, interestingly. . . [/QUOTE]
