The one thing I do know, is that he will be a success...with the positive family that he has and God&amp;#39;s help, he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him.  Learning may take extra time, effort, and creativity, but I believe that God will give you tremendous insight in working with him and the patience to bring forth those exceptional qualities that he excels in.
