It looks like his med school classmates are a good cohort for him -- making accomodations to include him.
As a former teacher, students like Sho would be BORED in regular classes.

I see where you are coming from as a former teacher as I am currently a teacher. I wasn't talking about the academic aspect, by all means kid, read up a storm, learn astrophysics, whatever! I was just talking of the social aspect of things. Aside from the classes, how much does a 12 year old have in common with a 22 year old other than the 2 in the ones column of age? While I don't agree with stifling a child academically in any way, I do think it's important for kids to do kid stuff.
Realistically, will this kid grow up to be well adjusted? Who knows? Hopefully so, but I don't think he would have done all of this on his own without a parent who pushed him to do it.
And his sister saying she wants to be a cardiologist? How many 7 year olds do you know that say, "Hey mommy! I want to be a cardiologist when I grow up." Not saying it's not possible, it just seems like the kids are getting "fed" by their parents.
