I guess I can't see any reason to identify a kid at the age of 2,
One example comes to mind right away, J.
My 2 year old was in daycare at least 5 hours a day. I think many things would have turned out differently if he had had other children to play with who were interested in the same things he was interested in. Perhaps at 2 he was still 'close enough' to his agemates, but by age 3, I'm quite sure he would have benifited from being able to spend at least some of the day with older kids.
And although I agree with the idea that it would be nice to wait for an issues to deal with it, I think you know what the waiting lists are like for some of the testers. 6 months can be a long time for a child who is activly suffering. In addition, it took me at least 18 months to clear away the gifted denial, so it seems likely that it would be useful to help parents of preschoolers get together earlier for support.
