There's also a third option: They might just turn out normal.

- jvanderbot 2y agoI'm fairly certain (having been homeschooled for a while) that they'll just grow up pretty normal, possibly advanced in some areas but have some part of themselves that feels out of touch since they never participated in the usual social rituals. Socialization is hugely important, and a lot of success is just being a relatable person that's easy to work with. (Once you have grit, education, etc)
