Never say that kid is gifted, is overload is a better word, 1/3 of those kids commit suicide when they are adult, been Ip is worst than to be black ,but both... courage, patience and love for him I hope his mum know what she's doing exposing her kid to media, is not a great idea.
we are alien, brain speed is always active, even at night, we have focus difficulties, socialization problems,.... well this phenomena is not a + it's just one more a difference that's it. One psy, call us zebras because zebra can't be domesticated, he run fast and then become invisible and tsetse flees don't bit him.
