Title: Fascinating article on neurodiversity Post by: Angela Jones on June 15, 2025, 01:01:59 PM https://maybeimamazed.substack.com/p/neurodiversity-creativity-and-genius?fbclid=IwY2xjawK7ozBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETBWM1U4Q1BsblRUM0xhbENnAR6Rv5nfRZct8imwEc4RnbwM4FU1Xp-Ptn5i6cTKw1BMiQsef2N9BQKevESPCw_aem_mA7qyaoYklZRpPQUyJ0UDw
'There was an early sign of these talents and traits, and Wilson’s brilliant mind. Early in his life, a church choirmaster in Inglewood, California, spotted that he had absolute pitch – the ability to instantly recognise particular tones and sing notes to order (around 1 in 10,000 people is reckoned to possess that skill; among people on the autistic spectrum, the figure is put at around 1 in 200). There is an apocryphal story about Wilson visiting an American radio station, hearing them play one of his records, coolly telling the DJ that his turntable was half-a-revolution-per-minute too fast, and being proved right.' So perhaps not just a hard working guy. But he was that too. |
