If you feel different and you're confused about it, you are different. That's the first thing. Go and take the IQ test. It's just a measure of something. It's a good start. Be curious about yourself in a very positive way, in a kind way. Whatever you find there is there for a reason, to help you.

At forty, he discovered he's intellectually gifted, a revelation that turned his lifelong sense of 'otherness' on its head. But is being gifted really the golden ticket it's cracked up to be?
