      @ in a way, yes. He has a brilliant mind, but he's still a kid. I feel it may just be too much of a pressure for him, pushing him beyond his state can give him a lot of mental weight. Not to mention he is unable to illustrate effectively from the problems he suffers from, so it's only better to wait for the right time as he improves and grows a little older.

      I don't mind being flexed at because I see it as someone just being proud of "the thing" whatever it may be. It's not like he's mocking his friends for not knowing math as well. He's also just explaining where he's moving.

      It's hard to even explain the process of thought. Well, think of it like this... Can you tell me what neural pathways are used to lift your hand? Nope, but you know how to lift your hand. (Thus you can skip the explaining and just lift your hand)

My son is very literal, it's very hard for him to "imagine" unreal things. This young man is all literal and has a very structured thought pattern. Yeah! Hormones and autism DON"T mix!

      +Dreaddy Bear It's most likely won't help him. Philosophy requires abstract thinking, and that is incapable of that. His brain is wired in logic, that why he is unable to understand art. He needs structures, and he needs to understand logically everything, for him to make sense out of it. But arts and socialization is mostly emotional and is difficult to understand it logically....
      The human brain is limited in functions, and gifted peoples just get more points in certain areas, but less in the rest, so they are unbalanced.

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a more wonderful and inspiring set of parents. They love without smothering. They advise without commanding. They support without judging. And to do all this with no blueprint for a son so gifted, and also so challenged, is something that really deserves the utmost praise!
    Also, honorable mention to the teacher as well. As someone who found himself stuffed in a similar program because of a physical disability, I can tell you firsthand that teachers like her are absolute unicorns. She's also one in a million.

      And on top of being amazing parents to one brilliant child with his own challenges. They are wonderful parents to 3 children! Another one of which is also autistic. They put in such effort with their children. It's so amazing and admirable. I remeber once my biological parents were having the biggest fight in the living room. I hid in my room and just wailed crying. This was at like 13 as well. And my step dad came in and smacked me. He said, stop crying! And I stopped crying because I didn't want to be hit. I couldn't imagine having challenges like these children and having my parents to contend with.

      History repeating itself that's an undeniable fact, but technology being more advanced that's still a claim to prove merely because we ignore a lot about ancient civilizations. For example, scientists say that with our modern technology we wouldn't be able to replicate the Giza pyramids with the same precision during the same period, so how they did it? That remains a mystery historians can't answer and only have theories they can't prove!

      They don’t have that social filter. I have a nephew who has Aspergers and he thinks and achieves in similar ways to Cameron.
      When a young cousin of mine (who has severe mental and physical disabilities) got a trumpet for Christmas, he started to play it in front of everybody because he was so happy and proud. He wasn’t playing music, just making noises, but the whole big family was obviously very encouraging and positive.
      Except my nephew...
      Confused why everyone is praising what is obviously terrible, he ran up to the trumpet, stuck his fist in the horn, and screamed “That’s the most terrible music IVE EVER HEARD!!!!”

      I'm gifted and autistic too, and this is too relatable.

There are things though which I still need three or four days to fully get. Lately I've been panicking about the participles, because although my teacher sent me mails with the explanations, in different manners, it still took me too long to get. And I've had serious meltdowns because of this slow motion.
      Now though I'm progressing fast again, and I'm already two years ahead of my classmates in the curriculum. I don't know. I can say ancient Greek is my biggest gift and biggest curse... 💚💚

      @@nintendoant88 Also if he gets sick of learning in a way that isn't ideal for his mind, it's very possible he gets fed up of maths in some years time and wastes a real gift. The University prof. was spot on and called it, he needs to do fun thinking problems that actually make sense to Cam, and in a way he can explain (like the puzzle he was given in the office), rather than just doing mindless sums that he needs to try and explain why they are, when they just are to him because maths is a rule set ingrained into Cam's way of thinking I assume.
      He probably doesn't even need to work out some of the stuff he knows very well, it's probably almost hardwired into his logical thought processes, which makes trying to explain how you got there to an answer extremely frustrating, as we see Cam expressing in this video, and almost futile really when there's a much better way for him to learn that makes sense to him (which will make explaining it much easier and natural for him)! I have high hopes that with the uni prof looking out for him, he could achieve great things, and avoiding some of the possible educational pitfalls he faces as a smart young kid with ASD!

    This guy's brain is really incredible; that puzzle with the coins near the beginning of the video for example. I paused the video, thought about it for some time, got out a pen and paper, worked through the first 8 examples for smaller cases, came up with a conjecture, tried to prove it rigorously, before eventually coming up with a hand wavy justification that I understood for why it worked that. All in all, I think it took me about 20 minutes to get to an answer. Play the video again, and Cameron stumbles a couple of times, then manages to get to the correct answer just by working it through in his head. His brain must be working so fast for all of that to happen; it probably took him less than a minute, all without writing a single symbol. That's extraordinary, and I hope that people can appreciate that fact.

  • @ajwilson3273
    @ajwilson3273 5 ปีที่แล้ว +84

    The problem with bright Asperger's kids is that they are not emotionally more mature than their age and often less mature socially and emotionally. So letting them get so far ahead of their emotional maturity just produces stress. My son is also very bright at maths and has mild Asperger's. He struggled to explain his work as a young teen. We held him back a bit until he was more mature and then he was suddenly able to do it on his own. We also decided he should not go to university until he was the age for it. I'm glad we kept him with his age peers as he worked on his social abilities, learned to write extremely well (his weakness), learned to act in plays, learned to play the guitar and then went to university without us having to supervise it. He's now 22, finishing an Engineering degree and a fairly well-adjusted young man who works hard, cares for his 81 year old grandmother and now has a 20 year old girlfriend he met at university. We let our daughter start university a year early as she is very well adjusted socially and very mature, so I'm not saying no child should do university early, but this boy was not coping with the university level work and it is mostly because he is not mature enough emotionally to understand that he has to do what is asked. Up to now he has breezed through his work. He doesn't have the coping skills and experience to apply himself. He needs to go back to his age group and work through school, probably in classes for advanced kids, but he needs to stay with his age group to develop a more rounded set of skills.. They asked if it his age or his Aspergers... from my experience it is definitely his age!!!
