[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest lags behind in maturity.  He is about 4 years behind.  The highly structured dorm life and finding one club ,which turned out to be his tribe, is what made his college life experience a success.  He is academically oriented though.  He is in a college in the Midwest.  He has found people to be far more accommodating and inclusive there than he experienced in his NOVA HS.

He has a friend from his many years in a weekly social skills group. This friend is not academically oriented either.  He attended NVCC for two years while living at home.  He is now at Radford getting a film tech degree/certificate.  NVCC has a Pathways programs geared toward students and gives them extra help in navigating from a two year program to a four year program.

Are there other skills sets your son has that can be the key to his success as an adult?  These skills are the things that will help him overcome his deficits and get him to independence.   If you are in FCPS, there is something called Future Quest.  It happens every other year and will happen this December.  I encourage you to attend. http://www.futurequestgmu.org/

I see you have posted with more information.  Just an add on- my other (more typically mature) DC is a freshman in college and his Saturday night activity is the Pokémon club.  So, that is not necessarily a sign of immaturity.  :)
