Please do more research into Greek mythology. Athena is one of the three virgin goddesses. Also, the weather has more influence over our emotions than our emotions do over weather. I can often tell when rain is coming before there is any sign of it. That doesn't mean I'm a demigod, it means I'm in tune with my surroundings and pick up on the little changes that most people don't see. If you are going to worship the Greek gods, you need to do more than just read a modern day book. Do some real research. It makes those that do worship the Greek gods look foolish and immature when people who don't really know the mythology act like Percy Jackson or any other modern fantasy book has given them a decent amount of knowledge about the Greek pantheon. Being dyslexic or ADHD isn't a sign of being a demigod. I can't recall any myth that would suggest that. It was something added in for the book.
Athena isn't one of the virgin goddess in the Greek mythology. But in the Roman mythology where she is known as Minerva, she is consider as a virgin goddess.
Athena's children are born from her thoughts,So your point is valid that she is a virgin goddess but her demigod children are gifts to men who are really smart or invent something useful,
No, just because she was born from Zeus' head doesn't mean her own children would be born from a head. She was only born that way because Zeus swallowed her mother and her mother gave birth to Athena in her head
I do not think the ADHD and delexsia was trying to prove he is a god based on greek mythology. I think they were making a point in the movie that some things we consider bad might be useful somewhere else or that being different is ok. Possibly someone who had issues as a kid and thought "Hey what if these faults turned out to be something special"? Which is a very nice message to send to children with disabilities. Even though its not that accurate. Also I dont think things like ADHD or OCD are necessarily a bad thing depending on the environment. I think such things could prove beneficial depending how you use them.
Is it normal that i think i am a demigod

Actually, Rick Riordan included and made the books based off his own son because his son has ADHD and dylexia and he wanted his son to feel special
