[quote=Anonymous]In part because we now pathologize cognitive differences that can be part of superior intellectual performance: ADHD, autism, even dyslexia. These are often genetic, so someone who succeeded with these characteristics to become UMC will pass them down. Also these cognitive differences do some with downsides and weaknesses, so parents who struggled as kids (even if they ultimately succeeded in college and career) now want to help their own kids do better. Definitely also an aspect of anxious helicoptering too, though. [/quote]
