oh good lord, if pat's so brilliant in medicine how is it he failed to notice craig might have autistic tendencies?
which brings me to the point that there are many kinds of intelligences, and it's not all about how many degrees someone has and if they're booksmart - because you might be a genius academically but have the common sense of a bollweevil.
the growing trend in education - which i totally support! - is to accept that there are 8 multiple intelligences and it's our job to help individuals grow in their areas of strength...
Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"):
Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
Musical intelligence ("music smart")
Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")
from this list, i'd guess craig is strongest in spatial, musical and intrapersonal intelligence. in a school setting, craig would've excelled at tasks that allowed him to express himself more artistically instead of pen to paper (the traditional mode of education). that's why schools tend to lose kids like craig, because traditional classrooms don't function to their strengths and they're made to feel like failures instead of being nurtured in other areas.
to me, the world's a much more interesting place because of the different talents/skills we all have to offer.
and, yes fee, you are the hott in your new av.
