He still hasn’t found them. When they get above 150 IQ like my son, the only useful conversations to him are ones where you are learning or teaching something someone that he finds useful (although the topic may be different). My son doesn’t understand typical Gifted student at all. He only wants to talk about quantum mechanics, computer science and inventions he already made or ones planned. But, he does interact via his hobbies (usually with adults and always solo hobbies): astrophotography is the big one, another reason why Nevada.

It is why we are moving to Reno, despite the fact that my son did not get into Davidson Academy. The visit was enough to realize that my son needed to learning from doing, homeschooled for 11-12th, with a combo of community college, Khan, JHU and Davidson. He is bound to find some neat people in the Reno area as it sure beats Philadelphia. We also hope to meet people in the Reno homeschooling world, in which he can hopefully work on his skills with his less gifted peers.

is going be socialization with peers.
