[QUOTE="Malika, post: 534421, member: 11227"] Oh yes, many kinds of gifts, of course. In a way, judging and comparing are invidious, aren't they? I hadn't really started down this track - it's just that this neurologist yesterday seemed a bit astounded by J's intelligence but it has honestly never occurred to me that it is any way astounding... So now I'm astounded :) Anyway, it all just confirms my fear that conventional school is not going to suit him very well... If I could invent it all, I'd have him in a school where they did lots of different sports, performed plays, went on walks in nature and learnt practical things like cooking and building things. Oh, and I suppose a bit of reading and writing would be alright :) [/QUOTE]
