I don't think GT kids are necessarily organizationally challenged. DS7 seems to have it pretty well in hand, considering he's only 7. I'm sure some kids are really bad, but I doubt the numbers are any worse than those for the general population. Just my sense from seeing GT kids...
My guess is that the problem is that many people expect GT kids to be better at it than they are. Something of the "If you're so smart, why can't you remember your lunchbox" kind of thinking. But 8yos often forget their lunchboxes. <shrug>
I guess I'm saying that I'd tend to blame it on asynchronous development. But I have no specific evidence for that. I may be way off...
Addendum: I'm re-reading this later and I want to be clear that I definitely think some GT kids are lousy about organization. I don't mean to sound like I think they're not. I just mean that there are some ND kids who are disorganized messes, too. I don't think GT kids are necessarily any worse or any better about this because of their GTness.
