Thanks for the link Dazey.
As a result a child who is already a precocious reader, an articulate speaker with advanced vocabulary is not going to get a lot of sympathy or support. (Especially if the child is active, highly creative, asks a lot of questions and is not always perfectly compliant, as are many highly gifted kids. In short, highly gifted kids can be a bother.
I don't exactly know how to word this, but do highly gifted introverted children generally have an "easier" time having their abilities recognised and respected and therefore acted upon?
