Yes. My son's aspergers was diagnosed before he started school, and despite our best efforts the school failed to accomodate his gifted traits. In fact, he was doing so well with his asd, that we got rid of his iep, hoping that this way we could get them to actually work on educating him academically. Big fail.
They just went ahead and stuck the compliant underachieving gifted kid into a classroom with no real differentiation and no peers and left it at that. He was suffering greatly in that environment and I pulled him out. We already had almost 4 years experienc with him in this school district at that point and I didn't see any real possibility of getting something that would work.
I'm sure there are other kids like my son, however, our district is pretty anti-gifted and I was done dealing with them.
