That’s exactly what I think about people who have glitches in their thought processes which cannot be measured by IQ.
It seems as strange to me as stamping our shoe size on our foreheads from the age of twelve and being known forever by that number.

Your daughter’s disability doesn’t appear to have affected her logic processing side of the brain. What may be more difficult might be emotions, feelings, and free floating ideas. Still she will be able to master them through familiarity and rote learning.

She stands to live a productive and positive future expecially with a cheerleader for a mom like you are - best wishes!!

You are so right about the emotions and feelings side.

However, I think she is just behind in those areas, and she is growing. I think she won’t be mature enough to handle going away to college, even if she is able to handle it academically. We’re lucky to have good community colleges, and a state college in our area. She’ll be able to live at home, and go to college.

I would love to know what Charles Schwab’s IQ is. I know he has dyslexia, so I’m sure his IQ is low. However, he has done quite well for himself.

As far as Obama goes, I know he is smart. That’s the problem, he is smart and he has very dangerous ideas.
