Generally speaking you're hitting the nail on the head most people just fail to understand that school isn't about learning (mostly).
It's about social integration, social conformity, learning to do things you don't like, and learning to take orders from authority.
From what I've seen in cases like this the kids usually end up suffering long term because they fail to devolpe proper social skills. Because we learn social skills from our peers.
No one in college is going to consider this young man a peer.
It's honestly usually pretty sad.
One of the most important and hardest lessons to learn in life is that it doesn't matter if you're right it only matters if people are willing to listen.
No one is going to listen to a 9 year old the graduated highschool even if he's right. What do you think that does to someone? Nothing good that's for sure.

It's usually what happened because what people fail to constantly realize is that the thing most important in our lives are the connections we share with others. Generally those connections are the ones we create in school.
They have pretty much eliminated that possibility.
Although generally speaking a lot of people this smart are usually on the spectrum as well.
So sometimes they just don't care about human connections.
