In response to a comment that indicated the news of GT-ness was a blessing and NOT a problem my husband said something along the lines of: We are indeed very grateful for the blessings we have been granted. But we are also faced with challenges much as anyone else is. We are just looking to do the best we can as parents for our child's unique needs. Now what can we do to solve the problem at hand?
I was duly impressed. And it moved the conversation back to solving the problem that was the reason for the conversation.
