Is this actually true, except from a normative perspective?

Onne would definitely expect the highly gifted to think/act differently socially as well as in several other areas, but is it actually correct to say they have less "developed skills", except possibly in the sense that they probably has had less reason to, and fever opportunities to develop these skills with their peers?

this implies that having social skills in themselves are not a gift someone can possess.
