[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 57636"] From what I read and have been told 130 is borderline gifted. Genius is much higher. Gee, difficult child would then be genious. I don't think so. I believe his thought process is the reason for the high IQ, which is also the reason for his behavior as well as anxiety. he is more than capable of advanced classes, but it would only lead to arguments about the homework, and anxiety about the classes. he doesn't do homework now, from what I understand Advanced classes have a ton more homework. I should feel blessed that he is so wise. At this age I believe it is much of the cause for anxiety and socially not fit. When he is older and matures the "giftedness" may be a positive tool. difficult child is constantly being told "we all know he can do much better if he only applies himself". Makes me think back to when i was in high school. My brother is 6'7", basketball star. I am 6'. I like the game of basketball, but when I went out to play, everyone expected me to be like my brother. I wasn't. And I didn't want to be. so I quit. I think with difficult child knowing that everyone expects so much from him that he chooses the opposite. I tell him I am proud of him. His memory is his greatest asset at this time. He can look at something, or hear something, such as specific dates, and it is in his mind. He corrected an out of control adult at a concert last week. Going on and on about his sports team and what year they were in the world series. difficult child corrected him in front of many other people. Stated the exact date. It is amazing the statistics he knows, but doesn't share unless prompted. hopefully maturity will allow him to appreciate himself and not destroy himself. [/QUOTE]
