I am much smarter than I think I am

I thought I have Intellectual Disability, but I am much more intelligent than I give myself credit for. I just only learn things based on my restricted interests.

Forensics is my restricted interest.

  • Just curious, but who told you your interests were Restricted? The word implies a limitation and I have a feeling you, being human, have maybe potential to specialise in forensics, but I bet there's a wealth of things you might be interested in. I know if I think of exploring a sensory item I can find I desire to learn all about nuances of that thing. I might look up the chemical composition of fake scents compared to natural oils, I might even explore how the botanical properties of, say, lavender, are anti-biotic. I might be curious about different coffees and origins, teas, tea pots. Small things of interest for a moment until I eventually work out what I like or what I would want. 

    Forensics is a very wide field. There's biology and it's decay, the geometry of prints, chemistry, geology and all sorts. I mean, one could be into writing about it or just collecting a shelf of detective novels. Which parts are you interested in?
