[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 245886, member: 1550"] Regarding gifted kids, really, most are not different from other kids, just smarter. They don't have more behavioral problems than other kids. An example is my two nieces who have 4.5 averages in school (4.5 due to AP classes being a point more than regular classes). They are extremely well behaved and focused. One has some social problems, but they aren't severe--she IS on Poms. The other is a runner--known as a geek because she is so smart--but she has a group of friends. Neither are behavior problems. Uber-smart kids can have disorders and most of the time they aren't related to being super-smart. Many Aspies are brilliant and that's a whole different story. I'd see a neuropsychologist. Until you see one, the "can he be on the spectrum" or "can't he be on the spectrum" won't be answered. Most professionals don't know what to look for in high functioning autism. If he doesn't have it, fine, but my motto is "Better to be safe than sorry." ;) Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
