Night Train

Maker of Things
I have often wonders about this and I guess I am Aspergers due to the outcomes of the tests I have done.

Ordinarily, and when I was well, I had great manual dexterity, great spacial awareness, able to mentally 'see' solutions to problems in 3D, a very good understanding of mechanical and dynamic principles, scored very high in IQ tests.
However, I struggle academically, can't dance, can't do ball games, can't balance easily on a bike, or do stunts, get confused filing in forms, need tasks and directions explaining several times in simple terms before I can do a new task.

Some friends say I am the most intelligent person they have ever met, and they have met a lot of intelligent people, others accept me for my learning difficulties and lack of understanding of simple day to day things.

I have a 'funny' brain, especially at the moment.


Edited due to not being able to type either.:biggrin:

You are an example of the many facets of intelligence, not just academic or physical. My cousin was born too fast back in the days before ICU, when they just held you upside down and slapped your arse until you started to breathe. As a result, he has learning difficulties, but he is an incredible carpenter - he runs his own very successful carpentry business and his wife does all the book keeping because he can't read. Doesn't make him stupid though!

There are people who are even smarter and less dextrous:
