Astrophysicist and founder/President of Reasons To Believe, Hugh Ross, is interviewed by Opportunity Schools' Executive Director Louise Ukleja about Hugh's life and his diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome.
I do not see how people can confidently say that the smartest people who ever lived were on the autistic spectrum. If someone is a celebrated genius but not too sociable why should they qualify to have a disorder? This does not follow.
We cant "see" so we learn language differently. We can memorize books etc.. But who do we talk to? No clue. Where is trouble? No clue. How do i avoid danger? No clue. Am i in the "wrong place at the wrong time"? I dont know what that means. I just know that i dont have any time. Its a life of being victi ized from childhood. It never ends.
I have it and i graduated college on the deans list. What we cant do is PREDICT TROUBLE. I have no idea what "time" is. Everyone just blames me for everything and yells at me. I get mislead and coerced by people. It is a crime but we stuck so young that its just a downwatd spiral into depression and loneliness.
