Brainstorming question for the Psychic Neal 'verse

One of the squares I got on my h/c bingo card, that I want to write for the Psychic Neal AU, is "culture shock". My general idea here is that, having grown up in a lab, he missed out on major chunks of what constitutes a "normal" childhood for people in the Western world, so there are big gaps in his education. It definitely wasn't 24/7 abuse -- the lab kids could watch cartoons and read books, and their friendlier caretakers probably did things like give them birthday parties and whatnot. Plus, they can read minds. Still, they never met other children or experienced "normal" family life, and mind-reading only helps when you correctly interpret what you're looking at.

So what I'm trying to figure out is something that Neal plausibly wouldn't know, or wouldn't think about -- something that he might stumble over. For the most part, he's good at picking up things from context (also: psychic), so it probably wouldn't be something obvious. I'm trying to think of little things where he'd miss other people's cues, or not quite realize what they're talking about and respond inappropriately ... that kind of thing.

Ideas?
