I remember a few years back in high school we watched a documentary on the above said subject. Autism, asperger, schizophrenia and some other one I can't pronounce.
It was ridiculous as to how many parents themselves were disappointed at their children's condition (as if the child brought it upon themselves) and felt tthat it could either be cured, hidden, managed (which is understandable) or disciplined to the point that the child would act in a normal manner.
What was really sad was how the parents were so strung up on their kids condition, they hardly knew anything else about them. IQ tests were held, and a child that could barely speak easily scored one-fourty something, on his first go. Another at age eleven who spent his days on his low end desktop was discovered to have been accurately coding objective C the whole time.... With freaking note pad. Another was discovered to have had a photographic memory, while another's basic maths skills could rival a calculator.
I mean some people look down on them while others feel sorry for them. You see them goofing around, acting like they're on cloud nine but honestly.. they need nobody's pity. They're freaking honour students. Yet the parent's were too busy focusing on their (and i quote) 'disability', they knew absolutely nothing of what they could do.
I personally was not smiling. Thing is if people don't get them and get pissed off, it might help to try up their own IQ first. These people are not as stupid as outward appearances suggest.
I mean how many eight year olds do you know with an IQ above 140?
That's because the parents expect their kids to be perfect. It's especially hard for fathers to accept because they don't like thinking there's something wrong with their sperm. My old man was the same way which is exactly why I have nothing to do with him.
Since it was too much of an imposition for him to be seen out in public with a child who was less than perfect, I decided it best not to inconvenience him any longer than I already had.
That, plus the fact that he thought I could help what I had. He's a miserable, sad, toxic old man. But on the bright side, I learned a lot from him. I learned what NOT to be and how NOT to treat people who are different from us.
It does not work like that. The people you are mentioning are autistic savants, which are quite rare. The sad truth is that if you had an autistic kid, he won't have any weird overdeveloped skill in anything. And that my friend is the hardest part to accept, people are just not born with an equal number of skill points.
Do people with autism and Asperger's ever get on your nerves?
