Thanks for all the insight.
He has made a buddy this year who is close intellectually. (I think?) They are going to do an independent study together on this other child's suggestion - Microbiology. It's amazing, how does 9 yrs old boy think of that?
I feel like relationships keep getting better. I'm not too worried for him. I do think he will always feel a bit different. I think he just has to grow into his personality more and appreciate his indivuality. Being so capable is a good thing. I think if we can balance his educational challenge and he can continue to do the sports he will gain more confidence. Both are important to him. He's a little out of balance wanting to be little boy with such high intelligence. His maturity will catch up with lots of encouragement.
