Yes.

I was casually-- and very prematurely-- discussing my openness to homeschooling DS, should he ever need it, with my father last week. He objected on the grounds of socialization, and I referenced my frequent anxiety and being excluded in elementary school after being skipped as a coumterexample of the dangers of inappropriate socialization. He said, "That's news to me." Even he couldn't see it, and he was my primary before and after school caregiver!

What is to give light must endure burning.
