I figured that a child with a father in the home, although he might be a bit "different," would not be put on a pedestal as a glow-in-the-dark higher evolutionary form. Instead, he would be signed up for martial arts and Cub Scouts so his energy and creativity could be developed productively.

One thing I've found, in doing many physicals on children, is that almost every parent says that their child is very, very smart. This includes the parents of children who are obviously developmentally delayed, and the parents of the children who were never disciplined and taught structure and so never learned to focus their attention on anything for more than 5 seconds.

Something tells me that this is just another way to re-define ill behavior in children, so that it becomes a virtue.
