Now, he also has many challenges.
Giftedness alone offers much challenge, so I encourage you to have a professional assessment for giftedness in your child. If he is indeed gifted, I suggest further optimizing his environment for his developmental benefit. I suggest you learn about each identified characteristic, so that you can improve your parenting and remain critical about any advice, expert or otherwise.
If you don't want to rely on a professional assessment, you can make your own determination of his giftedness based on your future understanding (because your current understanding appears minimal at best). You would also be able to provide this forum with more telling information for us to ponder your question.
You could start learning about autism and giftedness together, and how it is expressed, assessed, and managed.
You probably feel otherwise, but I hope your son is not truly gifted, because I feel that would add to his needs burden, or at least increase the complexity of developmental issues you both face.
