Article by one of the parents from the reality show that showcases child geniuses in competition. Repost from Hoagies Facebook, I love this quote:
The psychologist explained Leo’s mind to me like this: “Imagine you have to go along an Alpine river valley,” she said. “Most people would walk along a path beside the river. Not Leo. He’ll run up the first mountain and give you the view from there – and maybe across into the next valley, too. Then he’ll run down and up a mountain on the opposite side.
“In no time, he’ll be exhausted – maybe he won’t reach the end. But his journey will have been a damn sight more interesting than yours. And he’ll know a lot more about that valley.”
