There is no doubt that high intensity, high IQ kids bring a unique set of challenges and rewards to parenting, but I'm not sure it is better or worse than the challenges and rewards of parents with kids who are "quiet, obedient 'bump on a log"'kids", and if I had parented a "bump on the log" kid, I'd likely take exception at my child being described as such, just as much as I often did take exception to my kid being referred to as weird, out there, geek, or crazy smart.

Just a thought.
