I think maybe.
"Gifted" is just a word. It means that your child thinks differently than ND kids. But the specifics of how your child thinks and who your child is are still unique to your child. All GT kids are different. Generally GT kids are more similar to one another than they are to non-GT kids, but not always.
Labels like GT exist because they help us get what we need for our kids. They can work in your child's favor, so don't fight it if it helps you!
I have said before, you can call my kid GT, bright, academically advanced, or kjhksldfgj if it gets him taught! I don't care! Just give him what he needs! If schools everywhere taught all kids where they were, then labels wouldn't be necessary. But that's not the way the world is. So use whatever you need to get your child the education he deserves.
