It's so GREAT that he's already interested in college! So much will change in the next 4 years, he will grow and develop and change....and so will the conversation. He's a good student, he tests well, he has dyslexia and some difficulty with social skills...he may be a good candidate for a number of schools. (I'm sure he does want to live on a campus and have the full experience, and he could try that, at your local U, with the knowledge that he could always move back home and continue his studies if necessary.) He sounds like a great kid and I'm sure there will be some bumps, but I would definitely encourage him. (My d sounds like his opposite, with very high social and verbal skills, but dysgraphia and trouble with standardized tests. She too is hard-working and ambitious, and we talk a lot about how to find a place where she can learn a lot without suffering in math/science classes that are simply beyond her.)
"Flexible curriculum" is key-- and if anyone knows a link on here to a good list of colleges with more flexible or open curriculums, I'd love to have it. Thanks!
