How "seen" a child is really depends on personality a lot. I know my middle child is HG+, but the only comments we got about her when little were either about her inappropriate climbing / investigating from 6months to 2 yrs, or "Does she talk yet?" - when she'd been talking non stop to me for over a year, but did not to all to others, or even to me infront of other people. My youngest on the other hand draws attention and comments everywhere she goes. I'm sure she's gifted, she could be more gifted I suppose, hard to know at not yet 3. But she doesn't seem more out their intellectually than my older girls so much as way more out there in extroversion and social skills.... "Oh I could wear my ballerina leggings to the shops and people would notice my beautiful leggings and they would talk to me! Ok, I'll wear them! Lets go!" She's sure the whole world lives only to talk to her (or more accurately to listen to her).
