Intensity - it's a huge part of high-achievers, giftedness, and autism!

I've ntoiced this trend in those we run across.  My pregnancy history has not one "normal" thing about it, so that fits this:

Interestingly, I was memorizing full-length songs at age 3 quickly, but didn't become a prodigy or famous.  I cannot say I'm disappointed, at least not at this point in my life.

Intensity.

That word has so much implication in our lives and the lives of others.  When we learned of M's giftedness, the consultant looked at my husband and told him he needed to read this, telling him that he was living with two extreme examples.

Yes, I am the other intense one he lives with.  Have a great weekend, if I don't check back before then.
