You cannot force a child like that to play like a typical child, not without a bad reaction. They will close down even more to what you would consider normalcy

It would be like sticking a "normal" kid with a group of Downs Syndrome kids, and expecting him to act like them

Visualize living in a world where mental retardation was the "norm", and you'll start to understand why so many child geniuses don't turn out so well

You mean like living in a blue state?
