This is fascinating. Was it hard to keep him mentally stimulated? did he ever struggle with being the smartest kid all the time?
I imagine it must feel a bit lonely being vastly smarter than most
I wouldn't say it was hard to keep him stimulated at home but he had challenges for the first couple years of school, including expulsion in Jr. Kindergarten.
It is heart-wrenching how lonely his life is but I think it is a hangup his mom and I have. He is very happy, has a great job, just no social life by choice. He has debilitating anxiety when it comes to meeting new people. Once he let's his guard down, like at work, he is fine. I know the owner of the company he works for and they love him.

i didn't know it was possible to get expelled from kindergarten lol, it's almost a badge of honor. reminds me of how Einstein was branded stupid by his teachers.
glad to hear to he's grown up and doing great though, it seems like social anxiety is a big issue among a lot of younger people now , imagine it's extra hard with a genius iq
