One thing I have noticed that you might bear in mind. As the parent of gifted child you are likely gifted yourself. You may therefore have over sensitivities yourself. While many people may be behaving badly there may also be occasions where they are simply being thoughtless or you are misinterpreting. I know I have tendancy to overthink throwaway comments that were in fact meaningless. The example I am thinking of is the person putting their hands over their ears - maybe they are over sensitive to noise or had earache? Children squealing are very loud and I have done this myself and it was not a comment on either the child or the parent (often it is my own child after all).
