When my 14-year-old son who taught himself to read at two was five he also read a lot of nonfiction, memorized easily, did mental math and he hated coloring. I had him practice handwriting every day but only a little because his hands tired easily. I didn't want handwriting issues to hold him back so I acted as his scribe. We used Handwriting without Tears when he was seven but it didn't solve the problem of his hands getting tired and after he finished the books he went back to writing letters the way he learned the first time so I'm not sure that it really helped him.
It was just so easy to let him play math games and other learning games on the computer especially when there are no other kids to play with. He really enjoyed online learning so much while I was busy online trying to find answers for why my child was so asynchronous. He taught himself to type because he used the computer so much but I don't remember exactly when and when he was older he taught himself to use the DVORAK keyboard layout because it was easier on his hands. It was only through typing that he could write well. He never got to a point where his handwriting was fast enough to get his thought on paper in the first place and even if he did then his hands hurt after five minutes of writing. Even though he had once been grade levels ahead in math, he learned to hate it when I tried to make him write out more of his math problems. I gave up and let him use mental math where he could and write only what he had to in order to get the correct answer on a mark & wipe board where he could write and erase more easily.
My son used to do musical theater where his ability to memorize quickly was an asset. When he was four or five a teenager in his acting class told me that he thought my son must be "autistic or something" to be able to memorize that fast.
I don't deal well with the lack of local resources, peers, and opportunity for my child. I feel extremely isolated.
