My question, longwinded :-) , is that he seems so normal - how is this possible? Everyone else i have spoken to with gifted kids tell me all about their little quirks, and their struggles, and how different their kids seem etc etc etc.
Some gifted people are quite normal.
I think it depends on the environment, which means that he probably has a fine environment for himself.
I suspect that most important thing is to find something that requires effort for him to do so that he doesn't find school too easy.
