My son is really clever, always has been. It really shines in an interesting way in games like Magic the Gathering or more complex board games which our family has always been into. He dominates these things in a way that seems preternatural for a kid. I say this as an adult and a decent programmer, and my wife was top notch in school, my son (15 now) makes us feel DUUUMMMB sometimes.
I can honest to God say that if he had the domain expertise he is the one I'd want to count on to defuse a bomb or do some risky surgery. That said, I only know of things that might be suitable for such an individual from the common tropes (brain surgeon!). Is there any thing lesser known that sounds worth thinking about?
