I had the same 14 year old kid. No interest in team sports, excelled in individual sports if you could drag him from the screen. No interest in cars (like me) or much of any other hobby. School was okay, nothing spectacular.

At the time, i was thinking of all things to block access - shutting off power to the upstairs, faraday cages, cancelling internet. Also, no data allowed on phones if I am paying for it.

Now he is 18 and finished first year university in astrophysics. This came right out of left field.

My only advice is to keep up the support, keep up the family activiites to keep him involved and give him opportunities to try new things. I bet things will work out once he finds what fires him up.
