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?
