how would you suggest interacting with a fellow student like Sheldon Cooper, a fictional character from the TV show Big Bang Theory.

Either as a fellow student and or a teacher.

For students and or teachers, students like Sheldon can be either the best experience with said type of student or the worst. The student is not going to change their personality based on how much they are punished for their “oddities”. The only way to punish a student like Sheldon cooper to quit acting the way they do is to either remove them from the class, school, or remove them entirely. Which has been part of academics since ancient Greece.

My question how would you suggest working and communicating with a student who does not communicate like anyone else you have ever known. Does that student deserve x, y, z, etc. treatment.

What are the ways in which you just assigned definitions for x, y, z, etc.

Most people from different cultural backgrounds immediately formed their own definitions for those variables.

What are those variables, and how best to interact with said student as an instructor.

What would you do with Sheldon Cooper, or Walter Obrien, or Dr House MD, or Dr Shaun Murphy, etc. btw they are all based on real people who struggled absolutely with both academics and the communities they live/d in.
