I have mixed feelings about this. I think that most gifted kids will go through at least a brief stage of wishing that they weren't gifted...sso why add fuel to the fire?
Also the link is proposed not proven and many PG kids don't have them.
If your kid does have challenges here I can offer some advice. If the challenges are big enough to warrent a conversation then they are large enough to seek help from a pediatric OT who is familiar with Sensory Integration problems. If that is too expensive and health insurance doesn't cover it, look for books and websites that teach you how to enrich your child's 'sensory diet.' That is the route our family took because we didn't have the gifted label at first and I feel that it helped. I wish there was scientific evedence that those interventions would help gifted kids but as far as I know there isn't. So there is one story of one family..fwiw
Love and more love
