That must feel like someone turned on all the lights. Hopefully it will make things feel a little easier, and make you worry less about the small talk. Oh how marvellous!

He was also diagnosed with Aspergers, a form of Autism. Your description of how you feel like you either get things or you don't or something like that reminds me of my son and other people/kids I know with Aspergers. It might be worth checking out.

Although we were never given the exact number, we know our 7 year old tested "superior" on an IQ test... we had her start school early as well. I often attribute her differentness to her age, but maybe some of it is due to her IQ. She is doing well in school, but not brilliantly, but maybe some of that is because her brain works so differently, as you said. I'm not sure really how this changes things, but just being aware of it may help. If you run across resources for how to nurture a gifted child, I'd love to know. This was really interesting.

Without any real knowledge of the subject, I have thought that problems ascribed to attention deficit disorder were really due to brains that were working too fast or on too many things at once, and the medication just slowed things down so the person could focus. Ha ha - for example, I hate to cook and often find that I can't settle into it unless I have a drink of beer or wine along with it.
