I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who has an Asperger's child who also has a high IQ and is labeled as Autisic and intelectually gifted. He is four and his grade equvilency is Third Grade.
We are about to go to Knidergarten, any help would be appreicated.
In first grade, I was reading at a fifth grade level. On I.Q. tests taken online, I test within the 120-140 range. I wouldn't call myself gifted, but I was very strong in academics, especially English and other areas involving reading and study. Social skills were difficult for me.
Good luck to your son. He sounds very smart. I hope you can find a curriculum that is appropriately challenging for him.
9CatMom,
You sound alot like my son. We feel really good about the school where he is going to go. He is very strong in reading and memorizing facts, abstact things he does not know very well. Reading seems to come easier than the math. He also has issues with social skills, 90% of his conversation is what he sees in movies and on TV. It is stated on his IEP that he remain in the kindergarten classroom whenever possible and they will adapt his work to his level.
Your son's strengths and weaknesses are identical to my own. I was strong in reading, English, and languages, and relatively weak in math, although I still managed to do all right in that area. Social skills were my weak area, although that is improving too. Good luck to you and your son.
Intellectually Gifted Biggest mistake I made here in the UK @ age 11 we were separated and I was swallowed up by an education system that was a personal nightmare..........Years later found why IQ of near 140..plus Semantic-Pragmatic Disorder....Yeah, brilliant @ some things but it all balances out and for goodness sake don`t push your kid PS. I`m over 50 years old now
