Dee Dee - the high school is considering half day academics had day mentorship at a tech startup or working on his own company. They want to wait until fall to see how the summer goes.

I am hoping the behavioral psychologist can help with the behaviors, but my biggest worry is how to teach someone that something is considered rude when he thinks he is being helpful. He doesn't say things he knows are rude; it just never occurs to him that others will be offended by his sharing of facts as he sees them. That part is the hardest on him and those he interacts with - and a huge reason why I won't homeschool him. He needs all these experiences, as awful as they are, to begin building reference points of what people get upset about.
