my wife is well versed on this kind of stuff and he says he has social issues not any kind of mental handicap/gift
Yeah, it's called being immensely arrogant and pompous and lacking complete self-awareness. Probably what happens when you are sheltered from the outside world and told you are better then everyone else all the time, and have parents not focusing on normalizing you into society. It's not the kid, it's the parents. That kid is going to have a lot of trouble when he gets older.
I wouldn't call bill gates a very good speaker or particularly charismatic. Neither would I was steve woz the brains behind apple particularly socially adept either. Basically it is like sports, if you can perform and do things very few others can people will always give you chances look at pacman.
It's even worse when the parents are laughing their a$$es off while their son is being made fun of on national television.
Or we will be dead by his hand. I keep trying to find the clip of him staring into space during the Pat Boone show on YouTube, but to no avail. Listening to his albums, though I love his gifts, is a lot more upsetting to me than watching this kid.
a guy at work has him kids home schooled. They are pretty normal. but they meet up with other home schooled kids and no things together so they have a normal social life. This kid seems like he just hangs out all day with his mom.
I love it when nerds make fun of other nerds for being nerdy. Next up in the Hangout: Star Wars vs. Star Trek, coding for fun and profit and what's cooler, trigonometry or calculus!
