ya, u see so they are being label jus becos they see things diff

as they feel is unncessary to have such details. Ahhhh...

when my son at traffic light. i ask him to press for red light, he spotted the screw and say Octagon.. i see & see where got octagon.. ahh... is the boo-Nut tat or spare parts of the thing la.... u see...

and \"they\" think they havin mental block cuz call & call no response, as they are focusing & analysising.. argh....

hate talking to this \"PEOPLE\" they are the one who having issue... Manz....

even if you are professor so What.. at times, if u see working ppl, those who down there know more things then them...

ahh. but still we loose out to these \"people\" as their testing & assement prove that is ASD and is a kind of \"disability la\"\"\" got to faceit....

Wow! Your kid is a genius! To think that u have not read to him and yet he knows what an octagon is, I think it's amazing! Perhaps u should read up more on gifted children. I'm actually excited to know that my boy may possibly be gifted despite his disabilities. I still have high hopes for him altho I know his disabilities may work against his gifts. I have even shortlisted the secondary sch he may be keen to go next time. Lol.

You should also go find out more about gifted children and how to manage it.

My son also can make his own music when I off his musical toys. He will hold tat toy and make music from his mouth or sound n come with tag tag using his tongue

He has remix all songs with his own style . At times he sing ABC song w rap and times he add extra before starting …

For shapes he can put square n triangle together and say house. Or put crescent lay it and sing Row row row the boat.

Signs of giftedness in a preschooler
Your 2- to 4-year-old may be gifted if she has some of these characteristics:
Has a specific talent, such as artistic ability or an unusual ease with numbers. For example, children who draw unusually realistic pictures or who can manipulate numbers in their head may be gifted.
Reaches developmental milestones well ahead of peers.
Has advanced language development, such as an extensive vocabulary or the ability to speak in sentences much earlier than other children of the same age.
Is relentlessly curious and never seems to stop asking questions.
Is unusually active (though not hyperactive). While hyperactive children often have a short attention span, gifted children can concentrate on one task for long periods of time, are passionate about their interests, and like to be challenged by difficult activities.
Has a vivid imagination. Gifted children often create a vast and intricate network of imaginary friends with whom they become very involved.
Is able to memorize facts easily and can recall arcane information learned from television shows, movies, or books.
Other signs of giftedness may be a little harder to discern. Some gifted children realize that they are \"different\" from their peers. This can make them feel isolated and withdrawn. It may also make them likely targets for bullying.

They may begin to experience intense frustration because they can think more rapidly than they can express themselves, verbally or physically. If your child appears unusually angry or frustrated, you may want to consult a mental health professional.
