When he gets stressed his odd traits blend with his hyperactivity. It's like 'autistic traits on steroids' when he's at school and around the other kids. They don't like him he tells me. Can the school district help him with social interactions? Should they be encouraging others to understand him? I think he feels very alone there and it's adding to his anxiety.

He has an IEP and a diagnosis, ect. But his social self-esteem with the kids is not so good. For good behavior after several days, the children get to pick a treat from a treasure box. He told me that he got a treat that day - but that a boy in class took it from him! I about cried. He's not brave enough to say 'no that's mine' or 'give it back or I'll tell the teacher'.

Is this the life he's in for in public school?! To be trampled by the 'typical kids'? I'm looking for advice from someone who's watched their kid go through this and what they've done about it to make it better. Thanks.

I've taken quite a few online IQ tests, but never one administered by a psychologist. I've taken some valid ones online though, and one offered me membership to the International high IQ society. I'd LIKE to try for MENSA, how do I do this?

Hi. I am a sophmore in a chemical engineering program. I am also pre-med and taking courses that work toward medical school. I want to do chemical engineering because it is a practical major and I'm not 100% sure that I want to be a doctor. My question is: what should I focus on outside of classroom if I what to go to med school? Volunteering at hospitals, doing community service? Should I be getting an internship as an engineer for summers? I know med schools look at various experiences, but I would like to know what I can do to maximize my chances of becoming a doctor.
