Ah the first post that suggests that having the gift of genius can be a double edged sword that if not "treated" could become a hindrance to proper balanced development. I can now see an argument that the child, if the educational development is not appropriate, can suffer mental anguish and potentially therefore the genius is a disability as it prevents a "normal" development.

However this is all very tenous, and ultimately seeks to blame society for everyone who doesn't turn out well balanced.

In practice I beleive society has accepted that it needs to assist those with a disability to participate and integrate as far as practical with society to gain a quality of life and equality with their peers if at all possible. I beleive however that the generally accepted view of disability is that something is missing or not present, not that you have something that performs better than others.
