[quote=Anonymous]My husband knew from about that age that he wanted to be a physicist. His dad was a farmer and his mom a secretary, this wasn't something in his usual realm of exposure--I'm sure they were mystified. But he did indeed study physics as an undergrad, went on to get a Ph.D. in physics from Stanford, and now is CTO of a company where he uses those skills every day to design advanced systems, some of which go to space. So while it's definitely possible that one obsessive interest can lead to exposure to others that make someone branch out, there are also people who just *know* from a very young age that something, even something relatively obscure or niche, is their thing, and it stays their thing, and they find a way to make it part of their life or career. You don't have any way of knowing which way it will go for your DS, so just support him as he figures it out.[/quote]
