This was a wake-up call

[halfquarter]

My son also has a high IQ and his intelligence can be his own worst enemy. He has never grasped the concept of tempering his intelligence with common sense.
He thinks just because he reads a book on a subject and can retain and recall the information that he's an expert on the subject and yet his life is a mess.

I do hope you can find a therapist that your son will not only feel comfortable but one that can really help him.

Keep posting and let us know how things are going.

What self-help books have you found did you the most good? I have dysthymia and cyclothymia and could use some recommendations.
