This is something I feel very strongly about too. How can an academic institution prevent a child from learning because he doesn't behave how they think he should in certain situations. And maybe your son will always have trouble teaching people who grasp things less quickly than he does. This is a good reason for him not becoming a teacher but not a reason for limiting his intellectual growth. And maybe he is always going to find his age peers boring and trivial - so spending more time with them is not going to help. Anyway all the best if Aussie is anything like NZ you will need it.
