@aegisheart I was told I was gifted when I was around 4 years old and I started first grade at 5. I learned quickly and got bored easily.
However, my mother did not wanted to keep making me skip grades because I was already having a tough time socially being the youngest of first grade. Instead she came up with a plan, she basically thought me how to teach myself new stuff and be able to tolerate boredom and waiting.
She let my teachers know that I would have additional materials (which my mom provided) to practice more advanced math for example and asked them to allow me to work on my own on my desk. I was still required to answer questions about the topic being taught at the moment and get tested on it so it was not as if I was fully disconnected from the class. I had to learn to balance those 2 things going on.
As I moved up and things got more complex, I was not so far removed from the class teachings. Once I was in high school and college I would just go more in depth about the topic touched in class instead for learning something more advanced. I felt basically normal.
I appreciate this approach because I had very strong emotions too which made social life hard enough.
Also, it helped me be more self directed and I still have that skill to this day, although I feel very middle of the road in terms of skill now. Finally, the label of gifted was very burdensome so I was happy to let it go as I grew older. The pressure was incredible once an adult learned I was gifted and the other kids hated me because their parents would compare us.
