You guys could argue about this stuff all day but the main bone of contention here is that this is another label invented to describe childhood. Idiosyncracies of behavior, social interaction, and mental ability can be used to progressively reduce children into subgroup upon subgroup. They're just kids, and some of them have behavioral/attention/anger/ issues. Work with those problems and move on. There's no need to place them on a pedestal and say that are a new type of child. However, most of the time, they're just kids being kids. They learn by imitation. They do things to get attention. They have a limited scope of the world. They get bored easily, especially when they are forced to do something they don't want to do, either due to their already grasping the material, or they just have no interest. This seems like more of a copout to explain behavioral problems and a way to say "no he's not disciplined, but that's just because he's better than your kid"
