What is this movie featuring a child prodigy?

spark_sara

I'm trying to think of the name of a movie from the 80's or 90's that features a child that is a prodigy of some sort but he is also socially awkward. I remember a scene in the movie where the child says "Corelle" and his mom asks him what he's talking about. Then, another adult enters and flips over the plate and it says Corelle on it. The kid knew what brand it was without even being able to read. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
