I tend to recognize them by their sheer avidness when they discover that DD is so radically accelerated. I often use that as a filter, in fact-- anyone that gets that over-zealous gleam in their eye and is more interested in ME than in HER at that point... well, in pumping me for the recipe for the secret sauce, I mean-- I tend to know.
On the other hand, many parents agonize for the negative impacts they describe witnessing in regard to their HG+ children, when schools provide no intellectual peers or challenge worthy of the child's potential, year after year... and/or place a limit on acceleration. Parents may imagine it would be lovely to receive advice or even mentorship in guiding their own HG+ child's educational journey, from someone who's BTDT and is openly discussing that fact.
