There are two reasons for this.
1) Programming attract this sort of people in first place, where you see programmers, you will see lots of people like the ones described in the article.
2) It is very problematic, unfixed, and people need help.
At least I do... but at the same time I refrain from asking for help, because usually the result is negative. "Oh, here we go again with the super intelligent guy complaining about how intelligent he is."
Not only for "gifted", but many mental issues are looked down, and are not considered by society a disease like a physical one, a person that is sneezing everywhere, get people to pity that person and help, but a person that is unable to work in society even with heavy meds, need to "grow and mature".
