My brain (168, last time I was tested) makes leaps of logic that others don't follow well. For instance, my SO will say, "Did you get peanut butter at the store?"
My brain:
Peanut butter
Store
Saw someone we know there.
That person spoke to me about a family matter.
Me, 30 seconds later: "Did you know Mike is getting a divorce?"
My SO: blank stare
This happens all the time, every day, no matter who I'm talking to or what the subject is. Now, I've never been test for ADD or anything, so maybe it's that, but that's just my experience.
He might have a high IQ but his tweets that get posted are a bit on the smoothbrain side. He's right of course.
it's not clear to me why someone with an abnormally high IQ would struggle to associate with normal people assuming they aren't autistic
why wouldn't it be easier? doesn't the high IQ indicate their ability to learn and adapt to "normal conversation or customs" would be outstanding!?
