Belgian boy Laurent Simons heads off to university aged 8.

Kjelt:
That has already been discussed.
Since he has the physique of a young boy he probably will not be challenged as an adult or perceived as a competitive "threat" by other students.
The only problem he probably will encounter is that his peers will underestimate him and not teach him on the level he requires, the same as in another topic intelligent women are treated as nono's by technical people  ;)

Not adequately in my opinion. He may actually need extra help beyond what a typical child that age will require, even if he doesn't go to university.

So who says he will not get that extra attention and support? Who says he has a problem? Who says that this will even occurr? Are you a child psychologist? Just saying there are so many assumptions and biased opinions it makes no sense to discuss this whole topic without more information and expert knowledge.

I just find it very hard to believe a child who lacks interest in interacting with his peers, showing more interest in maths, is emotionally and socially normal for his age.

My point was is it's great he's ahead academically but it's far more important to focus on the areas he might be struggling with, than what he's naturally good at.

I agree. We need more information. That's the problem with this thread. A lot of it is speculation.
