[quote=Anonymous]OP - I have a college kid that is also insanely mathematically gifted. What worked for us was not worrying about the "boring" in LS and even MS. Indeed it taught him how to reach out and independently study. What is incredibly important are those social skills as he gets older. IMO work on that because that's tough. The reality is that no one makes real allowances for sensitivity as they age. He's fortunate that his natural academic talents provide the bandwidth to focus in on how to navigate the world around him. I think you said you're at a Big 3 - talk to the teachers there to see if they think he could use some extra help to manage his world. There are social interaction classes run by speech therapists that teach via modelling techniques in safe small group sessions. [/quote]
