Alex’s Gifts
An Anonymous Parent
Alex is clearly gifted when observed through one lens and yet obviously lagging when viewed from a different angle. He knew his letters at 20 months, but didn’t learn to tie his shoes until the middle of second grade. He taught himself to read just before his third birthday, but in third grade he still doesn’t have any close friends. He reveled in his discovery of factorials shortly after he turned 5, yet stubbing his toe can trigger an hours-long meltdown even as he approaches his 9th birthday. Alex’s academic gifts are stunning, but so are his emotional and interpersonal shortcomings.
