Different kids have different needs. I think it is parents' responsibility to make the best effort to get those needs met. I don't think that makes it all about the smart one. Also--from what I have personally experienced, even though gifted kids may present differently, esp. when there are LDs, that exploring these issues will help understand immediate biological family and extended family better as well.
