As adults?

I know it's a silly question, in that it's obviously highly variable and dependent on lots of factors but I'm curious. The DD I had tested is doing well and probably achieving more highly than would be predicted by just her FSIQ of 138. But she's got a high WM (141) and is very organised and methodical.

In other environments though, I come across kids who are amazingly gifted but very disorganised and distractable. Their potential is obviously huge but I'm wondering what happens to them? They can't all be "absent minded professors". Presumably some find alternative paths to organisation etc whereas others end up with partners who help with the day-to-day stuff?

Any ideas? I'm genuinely curious.
