Myson, a 9 year old in seven grade student, is extremely bright but has been struggling in maintaining his focus on the task activities. Myson was diagnosed at an early age as being gifted and considered a prodigy in the area of mathematics. However, Myson is extremely aversive to social interactions with other students, often avoiding eye contact or ignoring their responses. Myson uses American Sign Language as his predominant method of responding, which can be a barrier to interacting with his peers.

The students share that they were extremely upset that he did not take any consideration about how to talk to his peers.
