B

As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course,

Alison Thompson，a full-time mum，is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger

than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and

her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. ＂People could

see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his

teachers never thought there was a problem with him.＂ says Alison.

It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different.

Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even

corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron

told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at

the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance

learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11

and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades. - 3 - Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the

one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out

in social situations.

Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes

too.

＂The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress,＂

Alison says.

Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary (纪录片) to

prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents.

Gifted children need support too, but their lives don’t have to be that different.

Cameron is an example.
