Austin, I'm the opposite of your wife, numbers vs. words. I have good visual discrepency for picures and words, not numbers. I also can max out a videogame in one night, though.
In hindsight, probably most people in my family are gifted on some level or another. The culture in my family was to downplay any talent so as not to appear "superior".
My whole family is gifted denial. My sister seems to be coming around, though.
Whether or not you are gifted doesn't really matter, though, in terms of taking care of a gifted child. Nurturing their talents is one in the same as nurturing them as a whole. It's just a part of who they are, and you love all of it!
