[QUOTE="Elleseven, post: 318151, member: 8388"] He has friends at school and is popular but usually only likes two or three people and doesn't like the rest, even though they like him. He does look down when he talks to people, almost coming off as being obstinate, and the thing that has always bothered me is that he DOES NOT HUG. He will let me hug him, and he will lean into me when I hug him, but his arms hang by his side. He has always done this, has never hugged anyone in return, including me. When he was a baby he would make me put him in his crib to go to sleep. I could rock him a while but then he would point to his bed (once he was old enough to do so). He was so intelligent that he was communicating verbally with me at age 1 - 15 months old, telling me which playground he wanted to go to (we called it the blue park, the red park, etc.) People would think I was crazy when I told them that, then they would hear him themselves and be completely shocked. It was like having this little genius inside a baby's body. He does use long words and as a young child would insist that I read scientific books to him more so than children's books, like animal classifications, reptilian and crocodilian books, etc. He tries to downplay his intelligence and vocabulary now because he doesn't want to appear nerdy, but it is still there.
