"The kids that don't get picked up are those creatively divergent thinkers, the kids who are challenging the system," she said. "They are picked up as the naughty kids. They don't want to conform. They don't see the point of school."

Giftedness, like disability, crosses socio-economic boundaries, subject domains and school systems. "The thing with gifted kids is they are not a homogenous group, they are so diverse and different," Dr Walsh said.
