I emailed someone yesterday that "I am someone who has always been 'different' in a world where conformity is king."
And a quick comment to say that being a "certified genius" and a buck-fifty will get you a coffee, good grades and not much else. Trust me.
And the rest of what you wrote is wonderful insight! Be quick - of mind and feet. Compartmentalize to your heart's content. Be flexible. Enjoy your strengths and work on turning the remaining weaknesses into other strengths.
Is it possible that this was what your therapist was talking about when he said 'be genuine?'
