Emotional age is the same as any other child. They've done studies. It all has to do with myelination of the brain. I think that each case is different for these kids. My husband went to college at 13 and med school at 17. He was self aware enough to realize that kids that are advanced often were social rejects and made an effort to be social. Not much you could do about that when you are underage in college, but he had a great time learning. He said everyone was really accepting of him and kind. In med school, he had a GREAT time, almost a fraternity type experience with his group of friends. He knows his experience is NOT typical of kids like him. The idea of being average, however, would never occur to him.
