Unless I'm taking it out of context, I'd disagree with this statement. It's my opinion that you'll need to work at providing plenty and regular options for social activities, that won't take care of itself. If your family provides those opportunities in abundance, with your child being very social, then it shouldn't be a large issue.

The majority of gifted children have every bit as large if not LARGER issues with social / emotional issues than they have with educational issues.
