[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds very much like a child on the autism spectrum, if you didn’t know that already. One of my favorite students was a little boy just like this. You can take him to the public library and the librarian can help you. I am sure he would love a World Almanac or a copy of the CIA Factbook. [/quote]

NP here and teacher. Disagree 100%. Sounds like a cool kid to me! My brother was like this ad a kid with airline facts- still is, and so is his 11 year old son. Both normal people.[/quote]

Are you suggesting that autistic kids are not cool?!?!!?

And you a teacher?!! What kind of prejudices are you passing on to everyone around you at school? Do you look down on all your students with learning differences and different brain structures? Are you even aware that plenty of your students have HFA tendencies but that the parents haven't told you and haven't sought support from the school? Where is the line to be "cool" then!!! Getting a bit blurry, right?

My child is ADHD/HFA and has always had the same hyperfocus about history and military strategy. He's going to write about it on his college essay this week. He has all 5s on his AP history exams. His intended major is international affairs.

SHAME ON YOU.[/quote]
