"When you were in school with people your age, you were seven," she said, laughing. "That's hardly the time for maturity, either on your part or theirs."
She looked at him, smiling. "I'm not saying that you did the wrong thing or that if you could go back in time, you should change what you did. Your genius defines you in a way. No one likes to know that the kid sitting next to you is so much smarter than you, so I get why you did what you did, but you don't stop maturing because you leave high school. It might not be as easy or as natural, but you can still learn now, and you will never be like everyone else, because you're brilliant, but you can be more like everyone else and it sounds that it's the only thing you want."
Alexis patted his hand. "Look at it this way. It's a scale from genius to normality. You're not as well adjusted as Dom, but you're nowhere as bad as Sheldon. I'm sure you can learn to be more like Dom," she said, winking at him. "Okay, no more profiling, although that sounds to me like common sense. Let's eat."
