I totally agree. My Masters degree is in special education of gthe gifted. In some states, gifted education IS a special ed category. When I moved to California, I was shocked to see that gifted ed is just a matter of putting the kid in "honors" classes. Being gifted involves a lot more than that, and a gifted program needs to offer much more.

Oh gosh, so do I. Most of my academic and social difficulties at school were, I think, more because of my intelligence than my AS.
