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.

  • Forensics is fascinating!! I think there are so many ways in which people can be intelligent and being super passionate and interested in a subject is one way. I find conventional definitions of intelligence often unhelpful. A lot of my friends are very intelligent but all in different ways. If I had to define it I think I would say " intelligence is the ability to question things including yourself" - but again this is also a flawed definition. So I hope you do give yourself more credit for it!! 

  • When I was at school I actually took an Open University short course on Forensics- very introductory but lots and lots of fun :)
