>>11266360>You cannot be fascinated by machines, physics and math if your parents never exposed you to anything like that.you're a fool for posting this anon. people select their own environments, parents genes generate the environment they rear their children within. there is no missing convergence of high potential disadvantaged individuals and the corresponding higher education required to kindle their flame, they're just on the whole stupid kids that become stupid adults. The few geniuses born into poverty are literal freaks and you would do nothing much by providing extra resources in an untargeted manner to the general population.
>dyslexics tend to be good engineersThe average engineer is an idiot, and most engineering majors are idiots. Engineers have nigger tier verbal scores, and tend to avoid hard maths, there's a reason however that physics majors have top tier verbal scores as do mathfags. Think about that contrast before you assume parity.
>aspies tend to read earlyhigh iq aspies tend to teach themselves whatever they're obsessed with early, I've met autists who aren't particularly eloquent but were tearing apart computers before they hit middle school and everyone has met children just like that, they go on to become the actually talented engineers and programmers at elite universities.
>it isn't dyslexia if you are too dumb to readpeople with dyslexia are generally stupid, I've never met a person with dyslexia who was intelligent. I've met stupid people who claim to have dyscalcula or whatever as well and they did not demonstrate compensatory intelligence outside of quantitative reasoning, coincidentally those people also tended to be poor readers.
>>11268292>40% of self made millionaires have some form of dyslexiaI don't believe this and neither should you, and many rich people are actually not much brighter than your average store manager or highschool teacher. Remember 3 generations and all that, often less than one.
