Sorry lucounu, I will always prefer the gifted label (wherever it applies) to any other attempts to describe a gifted child, like the zealous Pentecostal environment I grew up in. �ie.. I understood stuff no one else did because god wanted to use me in a big way, �(god told many adults to tell me this throughout my childhood) and i was willful and stubborn because the devil saw I was valuable and wanted to steal my soul.
Holy mackerel. "Gifted" it is!
I guess there has to be some sort of label, and I don't mean to say that gifted people should always seek to escape notice; far from it. I just saw the OP as a person with some problems that might be intensified by outing herself, but I was failing to account for the fact that she's just awakening now.
