Yay it’s Thanksgiving break! No school until Monday. But I have work tomorrow, I think half day (or so my boss says). That for me would be like 2 hours. So anyways, today in my abnormal psych class my teacher was lecturing about autistic people. He mentioned that 10% of autistic people develops Savant’s syndrome, which is like high intelligence (genius, come to think of it) in a certain area. He put in a video of 60 Minutes that consists of a interview with George Finn who has Savant’s syndrome. (If you watch Rain Man, Dustin Hoffman portrayed the Finn from 60 Minutes. Finn can tell you what day of the week any date falls on from 1 till infinite. For example, you can ask him what day does December 16, 1410 and he reply with a quick answer. It’s crazy. One of the theories why autistic savants have this gift is because since part of their brain is messed up, the ones that are working are stronger than usual. Interesting huh? Yeah.
I’m finishing up House. Awesome TV show by the way. I love medical drama. Bye now.
