RE: Captain Log: 20160311: In the mind of a brilliant child
Even sadder than this, @cryptomancer, is that people begin with judging other people, especially the ones that seem different. Brilliance is something that lies deep inside. Patience is the tool that would most likely get you uncover it. Sad and amazing at the same time.
Indeed, too many people rely on superficial first impressions and ingrained stereotypes without even trying to look beyond outward appearances to what lies within. My wife has an autistic step-brother, and it's sad to see how poorly people treat him sometimes. I often wonder what it would be like to see the world through his eyes.
