[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 45998, member: 179"] Highly gifted kids often find it difficult to fit into the 'normal' world. My difficult child has an IQ somewhere in the range of 180. He has never thought he should listen to anyone less smart than he is. His father, who is somewhat the same, was asked to leave school at 16 because 'they couldn't do anything more for him.' Sad, but kind of true. It's almost like their brains are 99% being book smart...but the 1% doesn't make up for living in the real world. Very frustrating. Abbey [/QUOTE]
