Well, she did say "many," not all.

Maybe "some" would have been a better word choice...

I do think her point that HG+ kids need true peers is a valid one. "Freaks" may be too strong a word, but I know that I didn't feel like I found real friends who "got" me until grad school, even though anyone looking in from the outside would have never believed this. I, too, was a leader and a kid very involved with my age peers. But I never felt like I really was one of them.

Just another take...
