The more gifted a child is, the more there seems to be a whole slew of 
idiosyncracies , to varying degrees, associated with their *different* 
way of seeing and hearing and processing. We can start using labels or 
just take each characteristic and work with it one on one. The 
*definitions* are useful guides to understanding the idiosyncracies, but 
the labels can be limiting. That's what works best for some of us anyway.

Some of our children have so many labels it can get ridiculous.
