Normally the adults don't say anything directly to my son, usually directed to me and depending who it is, I try to downplay it (completer stranger) or own up to it (like the dentist) LOL I usually hear "how old is he?" I tell them and they say "wow he is really smart" or "I thought he was older" - that kind of thing.
I can't remember if he has ever responded about being "smart". I do know that he has no sense of privacy or boundaries because he would probably tell a stranger my social security number if he knew it. He always tells kids on the playground his name and age, his sister's name and age and sometimes tells people my name and my husband's name and how old we are, what city we live in...
