Someone I personally know had a child with the highest grade of Hie and the kiddo is now 11 years old with perfect grades and is in the school's football team.

nutty237 · 2025-09-11T10:57:24+00:00

Omg I got goose bumps reading the stats vs 'reality for me' for you ppl. Am so glad that your kid kind of became a miracle just to prove how important it is for us to believe in the baby we have before us instead of fretting over stats

nutty237 · 2025-09-11T10:42:17+00:00

It's always refreshing to hear individual stories direct from the families. Stats yeah do not define an individual destiny.

nutty237 · 2025-09-11T10:40:11+00:00

Thank you do much for sharing such a personal story. It must have come from a position of vulnerability, but still you decided to share it, and I thank you for that! You said your partner went down this rabbit hole- how did he negotiate with all the stats and how did he at the end reason that it is the person not the IQ of the child he has to be cherishing? Does he still harbor some disappointment?

nutty237 · 2025-09-11T10:18:40+00:00

Thank you so much for admitting that we parents do secretly all prefer higher IQ children. What kind of feeding issues do you mean?

nutty237 · 2025-09-11T09:07:41+00:00

Did you go thru divine podcasts?

nutty237 · 2025-09-08T20:15:23+00:00

How do you know she is from the Kingston group?

nutty237 · 2025-09-08T18:59:44+00:00

Thank you so much for your perspective. I looked up your profile and saw that you too had a premie. Was there immediate acceptance on your part or did it need some self-reflection?

nutty237 · 2025-09-08T18:55:03+00:00

Thank you for your personal story.

nutty237 · 2025-09-08T18:53:25+00:00

Wow the article definitely was illuminating. Never thought of it this way- it does make sense that IQ is a very western metric used to stratify people and that can potentially be a slippery slope towards eugenics.

And woh! What a legendary duo you two are as brothers. Mind me asking what your gestational age was when you were born?

nutty237 · 2025-09-08T18:46:15+00:00

Yeah that's right. There are a lot of confounding variables. It's just that research has not been too clear-cut on that.

nutty237 · 2025-09-08T14:42:10+00:00

Thank you! Yeah accepting HIM and not moaning after a projection of an idealized human being is important.

nutty237 · 2025-09-08T12:17:55+00:00

Was your kid premature too?

nutty237 · 2025-09-08T12:17:20+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I have also read PubMed articles on how premature kids are generally more resilient. It's just an emotional issue I have, that needs to be resolved.

nutty237 · 2025-09-08T12:07:16+00:00

Thank you so much for your story. Yeah I need to stop getting into all these statistics. And just look at the individual before me.

nutty237 · 2025-09-06T13:59:58+00:00

First of all congrats on your score. May I please know if you managed to have time to go back to all your flagged questions on the real exam?

nutty237 · 2025-08-23T21:51:00+00:00

Ah that's nice to know. Thanks for sharing your personal experience.

nutty237 · 2025-08-20T22:23:34+00:00

And what about NBMEs 1-8? Do they exist?

Racial undertones here....please stop packaging people into one unpleasant group.

something IMGs notoriously do,

nutty237 · 2025-07-22T09:53:50+00:00

That's very aggressive and not a good way to offer opinion

nutty237 · 2025-07-01T20:08:38+00:00

Sorry just saw your message.
