He's lucky. I was diagnosed as having Asperger's Disorder and am terrible at all the things that matter except for some forms of art.
3:39 ? Poor little Natalia! She was so tiny then! I wonder what HORRORS she suffered living in the same house with those two !@#$ adoptive "parents".
These are people that can solve many of the world's problems!! Hope he stays healthy and engaged!
God bless him
I think I would be a genius too if I had his memory. I've been through differential equations and plenty of engineering courses. The problem is you forget so much of what you learn once the term is over. I do think memory is the key thing here. They say it's his drive but most students can stay motivated if they're learning. It's when you forget what you study that you get frustrated and lose motivation.
Proud of what?
Does anyone know what he's doing now?
CHAMPION!!!!!
what no one seems to understand is this. this child has achieved the alpha brain function. soon the alpha brains will remove the alpha bodies.
Counting pi forwards and backwards. Thats awesome.
Me: math and science don't exist in my life in grade school and high-school days and i always flunk in these 2 subjects. And him this is an amazing experience and I am very proud of him and in awe. Wow!!!
My Grandma: go to your room and study your math and science or else you can't go out with your friends or your cp will be confiscated.
Me: WTF!!!!
he's a good speaker and good at communication as an autism(not an insult) to be honest…
Autism gang
Who cares about these dumb prodigies. They can't do or use anything, they just make the stuff. I'd rather know someone who is a jack of all trades than one of these autists in college.
I didn't understand any of this
Didn't know his dad was Donald Trump Jr.
This kid has high functioning autism just like me.
