Hi David,

    I too am a Mensan (and a member of Intertel), and have ADHD. I
    started school a year early because I taught myself how to read at
    the age of three. However, the gap between personal maturity and
    intellectual capability is a problem that continues to be ignored by
    many schools. There is no single successful approach when dealing
    with gifted children, in my opinion. It would be great if some day
    problems related to being gifted would be identified, recognized,
    and properly addressed in the school system. Evidently gifted
    children are sometimes encouraged to "be like everybody else," and
    sometimes even receive little assistance because "they are already
    smart enough." There are some programs for gifted kids, but ... One
    of my sons is exactly like me and I am glad that I was able to help
    him out with modern options such as biofeedback and Feldenkreiz. You
    are most welcome to write to me offlist for additional info on any
    of these issues. Because I could never follow The Curriculum, I was
    almost a high school dropout and never went to college. However, I
    am autodidactic and have held several positions that required a
    degree. I am so glad that I finally am escaping from hi tech and
    have landed in the world of jewelry. Every day is a new journey into
    my imagination, and my one-degree-off-from-the-rest-of-the-world
    perspective is put to good use, ha ha! I go into "hyperfocus" and
    craft my pieces until they are perfect and I am satisfied. A day
    well spent and work well done. I leave another footprint in the
    world, contributing art and beauty as well as happiness to other
    people. I feel as though I am finally living life as a wish in a
    wishing well. Thank you Amazon.com University! 

    And thank you - and bless you - Ganoksin for being there for me. 

Keep shining,
Devora
