[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people are parents. Therefore parents will generally be correct and incorrect about the same as the average person, have the same biases as the average person, etc. The younger generation might be more knowledgeable about certain subjects, but on average parents are going to be as smart as their parents, have the same capabilities and shortcomings, and so on. [/quote] Except we're talking about adults who are outside the bounds of average, with grown children who have managed to be more functional. I am more functional and socially appropriate than my mother, and my daughter is more functional than me. My son reverts and is less functional than anyone in the family so far: he has diagnosed autism and inattentive ADHD, with low processing speed. I suspect we all have some tendency, but his are so prominent that he has a clinical diagnosis.[/quote]
