Gifted is gifted. Gifted can mean universally gifted, but it can also mean gifted in some specific areas.

That said- to the OP - your child is young yet. My daughter was not interested in math at that age and did not display any particularly strong mathematical abilities.

Now she is 11 and they are starting to learn some algebra at school. She is spreading her mathematical wings, as it were. She will never be evenly balanced with math and words - but the difference is a bit less obvious as she gets more post-arithmetic exposure.

I used to wonder if she was only gifted in reading, but now I know she is PG in reading and only gifted in math.

Asynchronous development. I love the term. So much more meaningful than "gifted" at times.
