[QUOTE="busywend, post: 512614, member: 391"] OK - sometimes genius' (& I believe your son might be just that) have trouble with social norm. They don't "see" the world the same as us average people do. Have you seen The Big Bang Theory? You do not have to be a 'geek' to have this social issue when you are brilliant. It is like they can not understand average people. Some have no patience for it. Some try like heck to understand how the average see the world. At 17 let him find his way. He has to figure things out on his own. If he is mouthy, stop talking to him. He really will get things best by natural consequences. He has more to learn from a natural consequence than the average teen, too. It will actually help him with the social aspect of life, too. Make him a bit like everyone else for a moment (in his mind). [/QUOTE]
