Hi guys, first time posting ❤
This whole thing started 3 months ago, I collected my son from nursery one day and was met by the nursery manager, she had concerns about my son..' he's very energetic, his speech is a little behind, he's unusually clever, he doesn't interact with the other children very much..we think he should be assessed for Autism..i tell you.. I was blindsided..what the hell!! I never for one minute thought there was anything to be concerned about, but I figure she must have spotted something..so I agree to an assessment, major anxiety ensued..on my part. It turns out my 3 year old has been recognised as gifted and talented, he can count in English and french( our family has never spoken french) forwards and backwards, can name every single shape even the weird ones, colours, letters and he can figure out the most complicated of puzzles.He loves to learn and especially loves to be read to. Of course I was aware of all the things he can do but I just thought ..well, he's very bright. I'm told that my son needs a different programme of care/ learning , as the current way is not appropriate for his 'intelligence'?? I'm just brand new to this and honestly..i just want my kid to be a kid. I've gone from Autistic to gifted in a matter of weeks, I'm not even sure what advice I'm asking for?? I guess I'm just hoping for someone out their with a similar experience xx
