BC, many gifted programs, like the CTY summer camps, offer financial aid for families that can’t afford to pay on their own, which sounds like it might be the case for your family. I encourage you to have your parents look into sending him to these type of camps during the summer, as well as look for other gifted programs, like the math club, that will offer him opportunites for social interaction with like minded gifted kids. He does sound like a “typical” gifted boy- sensitive, lives to learn, etc, but he will be a much happier, and well adjusted person if he can find other kids like himself to interact with. They are out there, just harder to find.
