It’s not just lack of ego, it’s recognizing and respecting potential in others, also being, in this case, the bigger man, as in either a championship or just a basic game between friends, the congratulation maybe a handshake 🤝🏽 is the mutual respect and understanding 🙂

When my mother had me diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, my paternal grandparents told her that I needed more “discipline” which is how they dealt with my father. Now my dad was never diagnosed, but my mom suspected he also had autism as well. It’s funny how people who are from a certain generation think that when a child is different they think the solution is to give them “discipline,” like they’re choosing to be this way and you just need to correct the behavior. Thank god my mother didn’t listen to that advice. I’m also grateful I live in today’s world, as 50-100 years ago i probably would have been sent to an asylum. Some older generations talk about the gold old days, but that’s because it was good for them and everyone who was considered normal.

Curses and blessings often share the same space. But what can be done? It's not like we choose and even if you could, would you choose ability or compatibility? That's a decision that has to be made before because there is no going back and expecting peace. Even without the difficulties seen in autism, just being able to know and to see more is a difficulty itself. A thinning veil comes at great cost. Ignorance is bliss they say. They are probably right.

Watch The Accountant with Ben Affleck (excuse the spelling). A line in the movie that resonates with me is “Maybe we need to learn how to listen,”. As an undiagnosed high functioning autistic adolescent I tried like hell to fit in with my peers. I wasn’t able to. Spent almost all of my weekends alone. I still do to this day. It was after losing my career as a math educator that I was finally diagnosed. After being asked what I thought about the methodologies, I pointed out the impracticality of them. I was told never to speak in a meeting again. Teacher of the Year gave the same assessment as me months later. She was a genius. Years later I bumped into my students and they were excelling in mathematics. Some were in advanced placement in college mathematics. They loved math. That was my goal and I achieved it.

I further pointed out that fraction blocks will not be available on the state exam. I was afraid of it becoming a security blanket or a crutch for the students. Reflecting on fraction blocks I could describe it as a novelty at best. Basically I used fraction blocks as a means to introduce a concept but I used things like money. Things that they were familiar with and used on a regular basis. what they knew about division and multiplication and the role it played in solving problems. I also used our time to introduce and reinforce good habits that they would carry with them throughout their education. The students I bumped into were in college.

@reiniernn9071 Ай бұрын

I know the one most important reason why those kids get labeled (inaccurate) with autism. I guarantee...most are NOT autistic but vere weary about other people. This is because they experience mostly being an outsider because the MUST GO to school with same aged kids (do we only communicate as adults witrh same aged people?) instead of with kids who are more at the same level. And due to their differences with the same aged they often get bullied or just simply held outside the group. Because of this they will get closed to others until they see that they can trust another kid or grownup. I do have my experiences in this... due to my (family) privacy I'll not describe those.

I went through a similar experience at a public library once with a young boy with autism. I didn't realize what was going on until I walked with him out to the vehicle with his single mother and his three other brothers out to their vehicle and she told me he had autism. I told her that I was on the computer and he just came up to me and threw his arms around me and laid his head on my shoulder. I didn't understand, but I felt he was sad. I told her what he did and she finally turned her head and made eye contact with me and just looked at me for a moment like she was surprised that he had done that to me, IDK, a total stranger. So, I tucked him in the back seat with his typical rowdy brothers all messing with each other in the back seat, as she got behind the wheel. I held his hand with both of mine. Then said goodbye, but he didn't let go, so I paused rubbed his head and closed the car door. Changed my whole way of thinking forever.

Funny thing about autism (which this is almost certainly some flavor of) is that while its subjects appear to struggle with things we consider basic, they often have incredible hidden talents that just need the right outlet to emerge. I don't consider it a "disorder" or a "challenge" so much as a "specialization." If one can learn how to recognize it, adapt to it and work with it, these kids can be nurtured into intellectual titans in their chosen field.

Growing up she loved to tell me I was never supposed to be born and she should have sued the Dr. When my dad wasn't home she would abuse me when she got mad over something. She'd tell me I was a fat disgusting pig no one would ever love. I haven't spoken to her in about ten years. Hugs my friend.

Been there. Was able to go to pre-med on the other side of the continent and then med school at Edinburgh. She tracked me down when I came back to the USA when I was over 30. She did not recognize me at first because of my longer hair and beard. I listened to her harangue me for about 10 minutes before hospital security "escorted" her out. Last time I saw her was at her funeral. They insisted that I speak. I had come prepared and played a recording of "Ding dong the witch is dead." And then I left. Still feels good to this day.

My youngest was/is extremely smart too. He himself couldn’t handle it, he stopped his studies and works as a pizza-delivery person. We, as parents, never stood in his way and were and still are very supportive. If he wants to pick his studies up again? Great. If not? Also fine. His life, his choices. Although we did point out what the consequences of his choices would be, and he understood that. But the competition in these studies was too much. There was no positive mood, no encouragement but plain harsh un-emphatic attitude from university and fellow students. If you are brilliant and sensitive combined in just one person, it’s hard out there.

I did pizza deliveries for a while. I like jobs that are simple and uncomplicated and have clear goals so that I cannot have misunderstandings about not doing the job as the boss expected or social problems with other employees. And I prefer to work alone. My dad told me of a guy that he went to high school with who was brilliant. He spent his life making deliveries as a bicycle courier working downtown. Personally and ethically, I would not accept that life because I feel that I would be working below my abilities and not making my right contribution to society. Many colleges offer degrees online.

Few adults(especially teachers) can engage either! On my first day at school, aged 4; I asked why the teacher put a Bee on my coat peg, instead of my name; "That's because the other children can't read, yet", she scolded, so don't show off, dear! And so it continued, until I got so fed up of planning how many wrong answers I had to make, to put me in second or third place in tests, so I wouldn't get picked on. I eventually just gave up; stopped trying and eventually became accepted as "normal".

the teacher wasnt necessarily wrong. knowledge is largely an individual path. we are blessed with great teachers at times, but the greatest asset we have is ourself. if you know the answer for certain, then theres no need to say that answer unless the pace of the class is slowed down by the question staying in the air too long. if you arent sure of the answer, have it recorded in your mind and confirm if it was correct later on when a reply is given. then if wrong, question which assumptions brought you down the wrong path. there are many traces left of knowledge after the fact: that which we have heard, that which we have seen, that which we have made physical movements to scope out/form frameworks or imitate processes, and that which we have envisioned in our mind. a combo of these is best, even when some find more value in some than others, each skill can be honed. knowledge needs to be distinctive to be remembered, and remembered in the way we wish to use it later on. so we may realize certain traces are more valuable in different scenarios. i wish i had some cool bee pin/sticker on my coat peg

Especially towards Paige... because he loves her from day one, but he can't process it, can't understand it. This is especially visible when Sylvester takes care of Walter's sister, even marrying her to help Samantha make her own decision about her passing. It's not only about Walter's love for his sister at that point. He projects his inability to process his love for Paige into his sister. Scorpion is just a great show.

Being intelligent can be emotionally challenging, personally alienating, and traumaticly debilitating… It’s confusing to stand apart from everyone else afraid that you’re never going to be loved because of it.. Like Edward Scissor hands or something.. It makes you a freak… So… I can say from experience… Being intellectually gifted can seem like a curse… It’s being special needs in its own way. For me it’s like… A big bubble surrounds me and disconnects the rest of the world… I’m trapped in that bubble… A bubble of awareness, understanding, things I can’t talk about because if I did it would risk so much… Awareness of myself… Awareness of others around me… Awareness of probabilities and possibilities and predictable outcomes… Thinking on an entirely different level than most… Judge of character is SHARP. Judge of actions and scenarios SHARP. When you can just read people and predict movies and see everything coming… And it’s so sharp… Self Alienation does tend to happen… You become introverted… People can be hard headed and misjudging of the intellectuals… They assume too much… Dumb people think they know everything… Smart intellectuals will all tell you… We’ve just hardly scratched the surface. We have not seen it all… Not even close… And we don’t want to… This universe is far far bigger than we are and it’s just best that we just know our place… Trust me…

They set challenges for us like reading all of the Shakespeare comedies one summer, the tragedies the next. This all was REAL WORK on my parent's part because they had to learn a lot of what they were teaching us and it was hard on our "normal" sister who is very smart but had to work hard in school for grades. We all three benefited from the lessons in logic, literature, math, spelling, how to do research. A lot of parents don't invest time in teaching their children and that's so sad!
