[QUOTE="Fran, post: 369292, member: 3"] Anyone who excels has to be super focused. He sounds like an exceptionally good athlete with an emotional immaturity interfering with his social skills. I keep thinking of McEnroe (tennis player) and tantrums in his 20's. No real friends because they are competitive to the max. It's part of what makes them good at what they do. An evaluation by experienced medical personnal is a first step but you may have an exceptional kid who is going to excel and be emotionally immature. Being hyper focused always leads to falling apart. It's part of the reason our kids can't hold it together after playing video games intensely for hours or after an intense day at school, falling apart at home. If he has a gift, you may want to be cautious about trying to even out his temperment. [/QUOTE]
