Parents need to watch Young Sheldon immediately.

This kid finished high school at 9 just to take some community college classes?
Yeah there is something fricky there. Typically the Ivies are all over these kids.
bullshite online diploma mill?

Sounds like mother is stopping it.

Ronya says she’s had conversations with universities about David’s next steps, but has to be stern about not letting her 9-year-old be in a classroom with 20-year-olds. She and Henry say they’re unsure what their solution will be, but dedicated to finding a creative workaround.

These types of parents are batshit crazy, don’t care how smart your kid is.
I disagree. I think you have to make life as normal as possible for these kids so they fit in to the world but at the same time you can't force a square peg into a round hole. You have to be creative with a child so crazy intelligent. I would think normal schooling and stuff would be extremely restrictive and drive kids like this crazy.

You aren't supposed to spend all your time doing school work.
He gets all his community college work for the week done in one day?
Yeah I did all my college work the night before it was due also. I was being a normal human the rest of the time.
Same in high school.

9 years old and not on a travel ball team yet? Good luck.

I had to teach my kid that counting to potato was not all that special without breaking his soul.

Probably some good insights there, but it seems that very often these stories have a tragic back drop or a tragic ending.

Not hard to believe. 99% of students don’t listen to their teachers.

I went to high school with an 8 year old
By the time he was 21 he had 5 Nobel peace prize nominations. Something to do with refugee kids or maybe landmines. He went to small college at 10, got a couple master's. Last I saw he was doing postdoctoral research at Mt Sinai, something gene expression related. That was 7-8 years ago. If his last name weren't Smith I'd waste a few minutes googling him to have a further update. Update: apparently it was easier than I thought. LINK to his work published at researchgate.

My research can primarily be classified into three main subject areas: mathematical modeling of virus infection, bioinformatic analysis of bulk and single cell RNA sequencing data, and network reconstruction for protein perturbation data. Recent projects have included modeling the immune response to influenza infection in human lung tissue and understanding the effects of exercise on gene expression in human fat and muscle cells.
Man, he'd be an OT favorite with his knowledge of fatties and viral lung infections

I probably have known 200 or so Chemistry/Chemical Engineering PhDs.
Not one earned PhD before age 25. That's a weird case of being really young for grade, and finishing PhD work in 4 years.
Point being, "Sheldon's" don't really exist.
I really wonder where these kids end up.
If finish college at 12. Can't really work due to liability issues and labor laws.
Can't go to STEM grade school, as would be liability having a kid in a lab.
Its just weird AF, and a bad idea all around.

“I think the biggest social and emotional problem [for gifted children] is that they can’t find other people like themselves,” Dr. Ellen Winner, a psychologist who specializes in gifted children, told ParentEdge magazine in 2012. “The more extreme the gift, the more difficult it is.”

He has been in academia since 1999 and is still an assistant professor
Sounds miserable

Guess this is the thread where strangers tell other strangers how to raise their children though their own child is fricked up too.
Just because your child is messed up doesn’t mean everyone else’s are too.

Put him in his own room , Pat him on the head and give him a Snickers bar every day , Keep all firearms in the safe with the Steak Knives , get him on Pornhub and Google on line and double bolt the freakin door.
He's gonna be a Ball at 18 years old..
