Ths thread started out as a gifted issue - how the misperceptions and sometimes downright irresponsible reporting could possibly affect our gifted children who often appear odd to the rest of the world in which they navigate. I quit posting a while ago when it wandered off into myriad speculations and assumptions.

To be fair, you're interested in speculations and assumptions on how this will affect the gifted community at large, rather than how it happened in the first place, and what role his giftedness or lack thereof may have played in it.
