[quote=Anonymous]My kid is homeschooled and is at grade level, but a friend's kid who is also homeschooled/neurotypical is outstanding academically (e.g., doing graduate-level maths by the time he was 6-7). He spends so much time with adults (his parents, relatives, tutors, etc.) that he struggles with kid friendships. He seems "mature" when interacting with adults, but with kids he flounders. The adults treat him like he's "special" and talk to him like a kid-adult hybrid; the kids talk to him like he's just another kid and that lack of special treatment doesn't seem to work well for him. He needs more kid time, IMO, or he will always seem immature socially.[/quote]
