Me neither but I'm not too bothered. Social skills are more important to me than knowing what the square root of a million is.
A thousand … people might say this but I often have trouble realising when they have stopped listening - social deficits much? There are many things I am NOT a genius at - I discover more all the time. Sometimes helpful people point them out for me. Nobody has so far told me what I AM a genius at, if there is such a thing, but I’m not sure I need to find out. Does anybody?
