[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no knowledge of computer science or anything like that so that my opinion fwiw. First, I am super impressed with your son. Wow! Second, I would not force a kid to go to school. My bias is mental health but my son graduated class of 2020 and was not a stellar student. He is bright but lazy. He is on the spectrum, anxious and socially immature.  He got into a bunch of schools and put down a deposit. Then he decided he wasn’t ready to go. We could have forced him and said the experience would be good for him (it may have been). But we let him defer. We told him he had to take community college classes or get a job. He got a job. He isn’t lazy anymore. He is working almost full time. He is interacting with peers and the public. He is doing things outside of his comfort zone. This is not your kid - who is already a superstar - but for my kid this is huge. If he decides to go to school next year, it will be with new confidence. Or he may continue to work. It’s his choice, not ours bc he is an adult. Good luck!
