A lot of Asperger kids will focus on one subject and excel at it. I can see your point, I really can. But in early education it is important to get kids to expand their interests. I have a child who can tell you anything you want to know about vacuum cleaners, he loves them. He is probably a vacuum cleaner genius. But other kids don't want to play with him when he refuses to discuss anything else. Even though he does love vacuum cleaners he does want friends. So helping him step out of his comfort zone (which is comprised of ...you guessed it probably...vacuum cleaners) and engage in other interests is beneficial not only to his overall well being as a person, but to his developing social skills. No matter how smart you are, you need social skills. There are a lot of kids which excel in one area, but we still have them study a variety of subjects. We do this to help them develop as well rounded people. Overall academic, emotional and social development require a well rounded curriculum. This holds true at all grade levels including college. Specializing comes in grad school usually. Why should we offer anything less to savants? Savants are very very rare. A lot of Asperger kids will focus on one subject and excel at it.

I'd say, they both are doing a good job because both children succeed in their areas of interest. Parent's can't push their child to do something they are not good at or completely uninterested in. You can't force a shy and introverted child to be outgoing (trust me, I was the shy introverted child). With child #1, the only issue is with academics. All children need to focus on school and parent's need to help their child in that area. If the child is simply a "C" child, that's OK, but if they are actually failing classes, that's not OK. That's where the parents need to step up and help the child along. A child's personality has little to do with successful parenting.
