Yeah, I'm not sure what kind of "gifted" you are referring to when you request a subforum for this. I was one of only a few students accepted into a prestigious grad school program, and have been considered "gifted" all my life for various reasons. I don't see the need for a separate subforum to discuss the issues that have arisen because of this. Most of those problems are interpersonal or relational, and I find get more traction in the Relationship forum. Besides, I wouldn't want to post in a forum of only other gifted people, because the problems that arise are between those that are "gifted" and those that are not. Therefore it seems like the feedback and support you would like would be best from a diverse group of people, who can identify with you in various ways.

Example: I post often on the Work and Careers forum. Other people have really different jobs than me, but we are still able to relate about co-workers, bosses, difficulties concentrating, etc., due to our illnesses. The job itself doesn't matter.
