for more boyish version, an intro would be chess game theory

She was in the chess team and was finalist a couple of tournaments and then got bored and stopped. Coach still calls her up and begs her to come back because he could smell the trophy, but she's like nah.

Same way she gave up playing the clarinet after 5 years and making first chair in the school orchestra.

Zero ambition. Must be genetic. 😂

or maybe it's that adulation doesn't thrill her, but rather the performance of excellence alone

Yeah, she doesn't respond to praise from most people. Only relatives.

She mostly does whatever interests her until she loses interest and then moves on. She taught herself to read manga in Japanese, for instance. She can't speak fluent Japanese, but she can read signs and packaging and stuff.

no, i know this thing, it's my own problem also

too much talent, too little challenge

she's all ready to go for her dual doctorate

the normies don't get 2SD above normal, yet that's what it is when you are over 1SD

Yeah, life is weird, when you're like that.

She's an avid knitter, crocheter, seamstress, needle-pointer.

She maxed-out the pattern-recognition section of the IQ test, but finds computers boring. Would rather work on her sweater. 🤷‍♀️

debugging is pretty painful tho

also, i bet your chest is all puffed up over what a prodigy you pushed out of your body

Yeah. My son is like that, too, but more conventional, so he's the one everyone is impressed by.

But she's the interesting one. 😁 She's always up to something. Never a dull minute.

A couple days ago, she came home and insisted we write a letter to the department of education about her disatisfaction with the curriculum. So, we did. 😂

Sounds like you're doing an awesome job with both of them!

Well, I at least haven't managed to undo their natural awesomeness, and they both still like me and clean their rooms.

Feel like that's 90% of good parenting. 😂
