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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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

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.

Wow, Elizabeth! This was probably the best song reaction I’ve ever seen. Soooo few people even begin to process all the depth and detail, the manifold creativity, that goes into a NIN expression (song). That’s the thing that most people miss is that these songs aren’t intended to be songs, in the traditional sense, and that’s why people who measure them by those standards miss the genius. The NIN masterpieces are expressions of VERY specific emotions, and he pours every ounce of his creativity into capturing and communicating that emotion with full nuance and a depth that satisfies those who have been unfortunate enough to have been struck in that particular way. It’s not just rage. Or, betrayal. Or seduction. It’s situational. The songs are tweaked in such a way that they don’t remind you of every heartbreak you’ve ever had. They remind you of that ONE person that really kicked your heart in the balls. Ha. And, he digs and digs until it’s all carved out and left there in a big messy pile on the floor. And, strangely, you sometimes feel better. Ha. Of course, you can also OD on his music. Especially teenagers. It can paint a very bleak portrait for people who haven’t experienced enough of life for themselves. And, I think from the beginning, he understood that there are limits to what traditional composition techniques and instrumentation could convey, and that the talent of the past had utilized those tools to the full extent already. In order to push deeper, he needed to discover brand new sounds and techniques, and nothing was off the table. He was one of the original mic-droppers, only he didn’t do it as a flex. He did it as a way of saying, “I gave it my all. I have nothing left.” He would often drop the mic at the end of a particularly intense song, it would just fall out of his hand as he walked away, spent. So, he really did move music forward in some impressive ways, although most people never really got it. Furthermore, competing with him was kind of off the table for most musicians, due to their own artistic limits. Thus, he was one of the rare artists that essentially created his own genre, and subsequently also shut it down, once he got tired of delving into those various darknesses. It’s rare for someone to do something so well initially, that none of the would-be copycats could gain enough traction to even get noticed. He was grouped with “industrial” artists, because they also used alternative noises to construct songs, but anyone who loved the other industrial bands could easily see that he wasn’t just playing with the cool new toys, but that there was a higher artistic visionary at work. There is a scream in the song “Wish” on the Broken album, that I’ll just never get over. It just makes every other attempt at capturing that level of despair look like cheap community theatre. It’s not something that Dimash or Freddy Mercury could ever pull off, even though they are far superior singers by the normal metrics. Ha. So, yeah, thanks for this. It’s just cool to see someone as knowledgeable and as experienced as you getting hypnotized by the same things that blew the roof off my understanding of what music could be over 3 decades ago. Speaking of Freddy, NIN does a cover of Queen’s “Get Down, Make Love.” My GF and I requested that one at our prom. lol. It got cancelled about a minute in. Anyone who has heard it will know why😂

I think your comment is in the wrong channel. Maybe the Charismatic Voice?

You don't HAVE to have money. I'm in my 60s and my brother and I both test as around 140 IQ. I'm dyslexic and he has ADHD. My folks came up with amazing strategies to teach us (reading encyclopedias and dictionaries, teaching us math tricks, coding logic since Dad started programming in 1959). 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!
