Based on my own experience, I have often told moms who found their kids
very challenging that they just might have a gifted child. I'm glad I had
that message to give them. Even if it never panned out, it at least gave
them hope and a positive attitude about the challenges.
I am kind of giggling here....My son is one of the "Bipolar" exfussy baby
types. As I stop and think, it is funny how many people just assume that
because a child is bipolar, or ADHD, or sensory integration dysfunction or a
miriad of other mental disorders, that must mean they are of lesser intelligence
too. While some of these kids do have issues with learning disabilities (that
once accomodated for are no longer an issue), these kids are not necessarily
low IQ. My bipolar son is in second grade, reads at a 4th grade reading
level, was the highest scoring student on the standardized tests last year in
his school. He is advanced in math and science, his teachers are amazed. He
will be tested at the end of the year for G.A.T.E. program. So yes, my
challenging infant just might be a gifted child....with bipolar and all. (BTW..he
was breastfed fully for first 4 mos and didn't have any reflux issues)
