My DS8 gets those sort of comments all the time. He's 8, but very tall (closer in size to a 10yr old), can be very well spoken, BUT has PDD-NOS, and ADHD... I know he gets very frustrated by the expectations people have of him. Especially little things.. he can't remember a list of 4 chores to go do, regardless of how smart he is, he just can't do it.
