OT - can anyone recommend a GT email group?

My first grade, gifted son is having behavior issues at school...slow to

complete work since it has to be " perfect " , wandering around the class to

see what everyone else is up to, talking too much, getting emotional when

things don't turn out like he thinks they should, etc. He's in a class with

other GT kids, and has some special GT assignments, but his teachers are

still concerned with his behavior. I am too, but I'm also frustrated that

one of his teachers in particular doesn't seem to recognize that his

behavior problems can be typical in GT kids. I'm trying to find some ways to

help him without destroying the free thinker he is -- how to get him to

function in the classroom and at least follow basic rules without

discouraging his curiosity and desire to learn. If anyone can suggest a

group that is as helpful as this group is, I'd appreciate it!
