[QUOTE="Jim, post: 513032, member: 14074"] He does have friends some going back to 4 years old, as long as they are not strangers he does OK with them, he even had one friend who belittled him allot when they would be playing on the same team on a online game, kind of bullying him, but he stopped talking to the kid and he apologized now they are friends again, he does have social anxiety, he wouldn't go in a store or stand up in class and speak, talk to girls, but his zoloft seams to handle that, he no longer keeps to himself as much, he is not a follower although some friends do influence him into bad behavior ( I guess normal peer pressure) he is very over analytical. He does not have special interests that he sticks with, this weekend by his moms suggestion he is going out to our small airport and joining the Junior Eagles program, where pilots take the kids up in their planes, which he has done before, but in his case now a willing pilot will mentor him, teach him all about the plane, he will learn it's complex navigation system, mechanical aspects, maintenance and most fun for him go flying with his sponsor all the time, when she asked if he would be interested he responded "Yeah!" so hopefully we are onto something that will actually stimulate him for a change. This will sound strange............wait for it.............. He is a good boy when he wants to be, its not like we have Hannibal Lector under our roof, with all the help we have received from you guys and others, we are learning the challenges of parenting a child, with oh lets call it, this unusual "gift" lol. Someone had mentioned did we toot his horn to much and I recalled his granddad who was a scientist and launched the Apollo missions as well as designed aircraft, was a mathematician, blew his horn constantly, when he was 10 granddad told me did I realize that only 6-7 percent of adults have my sons intelligence, grandpas IQ was 165+ he's in the two percent range, granddad could launch and design a rocket, put it on the moon within two inches of his calculations, but couldn't change the oil in his car! so allot of my sons problem is he is "To Big For His Britches". Hopefully as I have been hearing, life will knock him off his "High Horse" as they say. [/QUOTE]
