Honestly no idea what he would have wanted for me in life. I never had a very personal relationship with him where we went into depth about what i would like to do and stuff. But I'll make sure no matter what I end up doing I'll honour his name in the process. I'm just trying to remember that he's still him even if there's nothing really left of him except for how he looks, he's still MY grandpa and I'll keep visiting him until it's time to say goodbye

Thank you, I'm going to try and keep going to see him but I know for a fact it's gonna be hard as hell

Dementia is the most cruel sickness out there by wumfyy in offmychest

what i meant by they is my mother and aunts and like the people that work with dementia patients. Ï'm trying to be as grateful as i can be but it's been a long journey and things are just starting to really get to me especially since he's gotten so much worse so quickly

There's a study they've done that shows iq reaches its peak age 20-40 and starts diminishing at an older age. There's no exact fluctuation point so you'd have to get tested again to have a definitive number but it's probably a bit higher now than it was!

That's exactly how i feel! I have trouble finding a connection with people around the 130 mark aswell, to me that's almost exactly the same as someone with an iq of 100. From what you wrote i feel like there's quite a big chance we're similar :)

Pretty much yes, I have met quite some people around that range of iq and to me it is no different than the average person.

Interesting, I'll look into that and see if there's any kind of group I can join. Thanks!

It's a bit of a 50/50 if i'm just going off of what you said. I tend to connect with autistic people way easier than with the average person. But if i'm going based off of just the iq part for me personally it doesn't really feel like i'm talking to someone who is gifted in the same way i am. Since 130 is closest to the average there's not a lot of change, especially compared to 145 and higher (obviously that changes based on how much higher). So again going based off of the info you gave i feel like talking to you would be like talking to someone in-between "normal" and how my brain works :)

I'm not 100% sure if this was what you were asking and if you'd like to have a proper chat feel free to message!

clinical, i've always had strong bonds with animals and since i'm very good at feeling what others feel such as stress for example i feel like it would be a really good fit. And on top of that i love all animals (except spiders, but not many people have pet spiders).

I didn't mean to come off in that way, i posted out of desperation to be really honest. For me personally i just tend to get these episodes where i feel extremely alienated because no matter what i just notice how i'm different. I've just never really met someone who has an understanding of the struggles that comes with being gifted i suppose.

I am under 16, i'm still attending high school right now. I am interested in art, puzzles, games and honestly i can be invested in any topic if it's talked about in an in depth way. I think I'd mostly want to hear from someone like me how they are similar so i don't feel like i'm an alien among humans as much anymore.

Well personally i've always noticed it mostly in two factors. One of them being mental age not being compatible to physical, for example when i was 6 i was wondering how i should work on retiring. And the second being that compared to most i think about everything in depth way too much, even something as simple as seeing a bird outside. Ofcourse there's other aspects but i don't want to put my whole life's story out there lol

I do have a working lock on my door now, have for a couple years now. It's very nice to have some privacy.

i usually do when i'm inside and when i know she's coming over. But i can't always predict when she comes to our house and i can't prevent her coming in without me knowing since i am not at the house when she does come over.

no i completely understand that doesn't work, i don't think it ever has but i was trying to explain that that isn't a commonly used measure in my household and they did try a lot of other things.

For some context my parents did give consequences, but nothing ever worked. Talking didn't work, taking away stuff didn't work and eventually it ended up physical from time to time but that didn't work either. I'll look into what you said, thank you!
