Being GT does not necessarily mean one must present as "not normal". I have known several other GT individuals (145+ on contemporary tests, or 160+ on old SBLM) who interact very well in a wide range of environments, are quietly very accomplished in areas of interest to them, and have received the same "normal" comment throughout their lives. I would consider it less masking in those cases, and more high social reasoning and code-switching.
