Hello, it was recently pointed out to me that my son is very different. I don't think so but, I always thought he had Asperger's.

Things I have noticed are:
  • He didn't speak until he was 5
  • He is a loner
  • He is only interested in Physics and Calculus.
  • He never looks people in the eye
  • He has no friends (not being harsh)
  • He doesn't show any interest in girls (he is 14)
  • He doesn't understand jokes and sarcasm

There are many more and I wish I could list them all.

Another question though, he has taught him self Calculus (single and multi variable) and Physics (he is teaching himself string theory). Should I push for him to skip grades?

NOTE: He makes C's in subjects he is not interested in (Civics and English I), when asked he says, "It's not important to me, I understand English and I want to be a Physicist, not a politician".

What do y'all think?
