[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 288150, member: 1991"] One final point - Temple Grandin says she beleives Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is an overdose of genius - you get Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) often associated with high IQ elsewhere in the family. And if your children grow up in "an enriched environment" (which is what our house has been described as) then they are likely to have a moreadvanced vocabulary, which frankly is what the earlier IQ ests measure. I remember with easy child 2/difficult child 2's test (at age 4) the tester commented his surprise that she could readily and correctly answer, "What is the colour of rubies?" Considering how the girl is now, with her obsessions with fashion, colour and design - I'm not a bit surprised. PLus, she was living in a houseful of highly verbal and stimulating people. Some of it had to rub off. And that is a bit of advice I share with everybody - stimualte your child. Keep the environment enriched, keep them challenged. Especially when young. It gives them the best start academically. Marg [/QUOTE]
