My son’s IQ was measured at Shenzhen Children’s Hospital to be 157. I don’t know how they got the result. However, my son is 4 and a half years old and can recognize about 1,500 Chinese characters. He has a very good memory and usually plays with his own things. This is because he is very focused on things. Sometimes he can play with something for an hour and still wants to continue playing without being asked. His thinking ability and imagination are very strong. In terms of communication, he is indeed different from other children. When he is asked what to say, he responds with what he says. But when he encounters a problem that he does not understand, he will ask what this is and why is it like this! Curious

Not really. People with high IQs, their thoughts. They are no longer in the same realm as ordinary people.

Give an example. Just like adults and children. Of course it's just for entertaining children. Or tell them a story. They don't discuss things with children when they have something to do. That's what it means.

I met a child before. At the age of 12, his extracurricular reading was the Four Great Classics. Or various novels. Their teacher said that he did not want to communicate with his classmates. Often alone. But he played very well with me. Later I asked him, you have a good personality, why don't you like to communicate with your classmates? He told me what he had to say to the children. I heard it. Aren't you a child too? Perhaps his thinking is already very advanced, compared with other children at the same level. Not on the same channel.

People with high IQs may also be like this. They are not very lonely. Just haven't encountered it. Someone you can talk to.

I heard a sentence before. It is said that the path of the strong is lonely. Or maybe that's the truth. They are lonely. It's because I haven't found anyone to go with.

People with high IQs

Are they more likely to be anxious, depressed, or autistic?

In the eyes of many people, the life trajectory of smart people is always glorious. For example, people who perform well on standard IQ tests tend to perform better in class and at work. But not long ago, there was bad news for people with high IQs - according to research results published in psychology journals by scientists from Pezer College of the Clearmont College Alliance, people with high IQs are more likely to suffer from symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and autism. The proportion is higher than that of the general public.

In this study, researchers analyzed a large sample of people with high IQs and found that among this group of people, depression, bipolar disorder, social anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well as ADHD and autism Diseases and so on are very common, and this is just psychological; physiologically, people with high IQs are threatened by environmental allergies, asthma and autoimmune system diseases. Moreover, the higher the IQ, the more serious the mental or physical disorder.

"From genius to madness, there is only one step." This is a famous saying by the British poet John Dryden. Past research has pointed out that the correlation between genius and madness is mostly caused by a specific gene called "DARPP-32". This reminds us that in the movie "A Beautiful Mind" based on a true story, Nobel Prize winner John Nash struggled with schizophrenia throughout his life. In the study, scientists found that compared with the general population, the biggest difference between "smart people" is in mood disorders and anxiety disorders. People with extremely high IQs show symptoms of "over-excitement" both psychologically and physically, which puts their body functions under pressure that exceeds that of ordinary people.

Expert opinion

Geniuses have an overly excited brain or body

prone to psychological and physiological dysfunction

Research at Pitzer College In this latest study, the authors proposed an "hyper brain/hyper body" theory to explain their experimental findings. This theory holds that, in addition to these well-known advantages, super high IQ is also closely related to psychological and physiological "excessive excitement". Regarding this special word, many people are curious. What is the state of "over-excitement"? Does it mean the same thing as the "excitement" we know?

On this topic, the reporter specifically interviewed Mr. Huang Jian, a doctor of psychology from South China Normal University.

"According to the researcher's point of view, excessive hyperactivity should refer to - when responding to specific life events, the degree of physiological and psychological reactions that occur is significantly stronger than that of normal people. In the field of psychology, more scholars will use the term 'excessive stress sensitivity' The concept of sex is used to describe this specific physiological and psychological reaction. "Huang Jian told reporters that the specific manifestations of this concept are relatively typical. For example, people with excessive stress sensitivity will be more sensitive to slightly noisy sounds. physiological reactions and accompanying psychological discomfort.

Polish psychiatrists and psychologists proposed in the 1960s that people with "hyperarousal" characteristics often have very strong reactions to environmental threats or injuries. For example, a highly intelligent person may overanalyze a boss's criticism, which may trigger the body's stress response and make the person more anxious. Researchers believe that interactions like this "vicious cycle" are more common among people with high IQs, making them prone to psychological and physiological dysfunction. Painter Van Gogh and writer Jack Kerouac were both recognized as geniuses, yet they both exhibited self-harming behaviors.

The "secret" of weirdos:

Are all the "sheer ears" around me

Have low emotional intelligence?

Anyone who has watched "The Big Bang Theory" knows that Sheldon is a typical geek. He has a high IQ and always chatters about trivial matters. He is not only neurotic, but also arrogant and withdrawn. Although not everyone with a high IQ has a low EQ, many people have the same feeling, that is, they find it difficult to get along with the "smart people" around them, perhaps because their personalities are too "weird."

In fact, according to historical records, many talented scientists or artists in the past did fall into the category of "weirdos". Therefore, some researchers once proposed that "the higher the IQ, the more difficult it is to get along with others." " concluded that the brain areas associated with social intelligence are different from other intelligences.

"First of all, the view that 'people with higher IQs are more difficult to get along with' is only based on the intuitive test of a small number of historical samples and is not necessarily accurate." Dr. Huang Jian said, secondly, if we must say that people with high IQ People with IQs may be difficult to get along with. One possible reason is that the above-mentioned Pitz College study found that people with high IQs have higher stress sensitivity, and they are more sensitive to events than normal people. Therefore, this group may have certain conflicts with others in the process of interpersonal communication, making it difficult to communicate.

The life of the genius scientist Newton was one of genius and struggle. However, he was not good at sociability, and his life was full of loneliness. Dr. Huang Jian told reporters that interpersonal communication is a complex psychological and social phenomenon that is also affected by many factors. For example, people with high IQs have stronger problem-solving abilities, which will also allow them to occupy a certain position in interpersonal communication, so We cannot arbitrarily conclude that "people with high IQs have low emotional intelligence and are difficult to get along with."

Topic extension

Is "high" IQ necessarily "low" healthy?

Did you know that human intelligence is divided into fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence - crystallized intelligence is related to a person's acquired learning and social environment; while fluid intelligence is related to a person's talent, which is what we usually call He is said to be born with high IQ. Although, with limited research, it is not yet fully proven that high IQ is a high-risk factor for mental illness, there are indeed certain correlation mechanisms between high IQ and mental illness. So as a "high IQ person", how should we adjust ourselves so that we can have both developed cognitive abilities and a healthy mental state?

Looking around in the field of research, not all "news" is "unfavorable" to smart people. Studies from the University of Edinburgh, the University of Oxford and University College London in the UK have found that children with high IQs grow up to be healthier and live longer; a new study has also found that fast reaction time is related to a reduced risk of early death and high IQ; There is also other evidence that IQ may be an indicator of good genes and central nervous system efficiency.

In any case, any research findings from around the world regarding the connection between IQ and health are very good. From a practical perspective, this research could ultimately influence perceptions about mental and physical health. If overarousal is the correct cause of the IQ-health relationship, then interventions to curb these adverse effects might help people live happier, healthier lives.

No

The question can also be asked in reverse: "Are all lonely autistic patients high IQ people?" It's a bit sad and helpless. Not only are most autistic patients not geniuses , IQ is still far below normal people.

If you have watched "Rain Man" starring Tom Cruise, you may feel that although the daily behavior of autistic people is a bit strange, they are geniuses. It is true that geniuses do exist among autistic patients. Einstein who discovered the theory of relativity; Newton who discovered the three laws of force; Leonardo da Vinci who was a scientist, inventor, and painter, etc. are all autistic patients. But they all have Asperger syndrome.

Why do ordinary people have the illusion that autistic people are geniuses? Because often only geniuses are more likely to be seen by the world. There is a clear difference between typical autism and Asperger's syndrome. People with Asperger's syndrome have normal or even extraordinary intellectual development, but they still have difficulty in daily communication with normal people.

What’s more important is that Asperger syndrome accounts for less than 10% of the population, and savant syndrome patients are even rarer. The media uses people’s curiosity to report on autism for the purpose of traffic. Because of the bias, it is often those with Asperger syndrome and savant syndrome who come into the public eye.

Although these people have certain flaws, they are extremely interested in certain fields and have talents and talents that are different from ordinary people. As a result, some members of the public, misled by the media, paint autism and genius. On the other hand, there is a lack of clear understanding of the nature of autism, and this misconception confuses the public.

If you have time, you can watch "Ocean Paradise" starring Jet Li and Wen Zhang, and you will find another kind of life for autistic people. The real-life prototype of "Dafu" played by Wen Zhang is Tao Tao. Tao Tao's mother is Tian Huiping, the founder of Beijing Xingxingyu Autism Education Research Institute. ?

Autism, also known as autism, is a type of autism spectrum disorder (Autism Spectrum Disorder). It is mainly characterized by persistent social communication difficulties, narrow interests and repetitive stereotyped behaviors. .

The current domestic autism incidence survey is characterized by small geographical scope, narrow coverage, and poor expertise. For example, in 2007, the Beijing Disabled Persons' Federation used a sample survey to calculate the incidence rate of autism among Beijing children at 0.09. In 2012, Shenzhen City only conducted random checks on babies aged 18-24 months in Shenzhen. The American Autism and Developmental Disabilities Control Network found the autism prevalence rate by surveying Americans born in 2006 and 8 years old in 2014 at 16.8‰, and stated that the prevalence of autism in Asia, Europe and North America 1～2. Based on an estimated incidence rate of 1 to 2, the number of autistic people in my country ranges from 13.95 to 27.9 million.

In 1908, the concept of autism was proposed, but research on autism in my country has been slow. In 1963, the British textbook "Clinical Psychiatry" by W. Mayer-Gross, Eliot Slate, and Martin Roth, translated by Chinese scholar Ji Ming and others, was published. This was the beginning of the study of autism in my country. In 1982, Tao Guotai published a paper "The Diagnosis and Attribution of Infant Autism", and the issue of autism gradually entered the field of academic research, media reports, and public attention in my country. After the convergence of the children's autism issue stream and the media stream, it has received wider social attention and a series of policy support.

After these years of development, almost no one does not know the term "autism", but few people know what kind of disease autism is. Some people can't even distinguish between autism and autism. Regarding depression, some people think that autism means genius, while others equate what we say in daily life, "I am autistic", with autism.

The cause of autism is currently unclear. There are as many as 300 to 500 mutated genes. The ever-changing gene combinations all show a type of disability characteristics. This heterogeneity makes medical science It is difficult to find the biological root of the disease and cannot make an etiological diagnosis. It can only judge whether a child has autistic tendencies based on his behavioral characteristics. But what is clear is that autism is not an acquired disease, a mental illness, or a lack of family care, but a congenital condition. It's like building a building. There are problems with the design from the beginning, and the building is destined to collapse.

Autistic patients are born with pervasive developmental disorders (Pervasive Developmental Disorders). What is "pervasive developmental disorder"? These disorders mainly include the following twelve, no spoken language, conversational ability deficit, special vocabulary, inner language, non-verbal expression disorder, difficulty in peer interaction, difficulty in sharing emotions, lack of reciprocal behavior, narrow interests, stubborn behavior, repetitive body movements, Just pay attention to the details of things.

However, it is worth noting that not every autistic patient has all of the above disabilities. Some autistic patients may be able to speak, but have stubborn behaviors, and some autistic patients share emotions. Difficult, but not repetitive body movements. In other words, no two autistic people in the world are the same. Therefore, despite all these years of publicity, it is still very difficult for ordinary people to identify or understand people with autism.

People with high IQs have their own opinions, do not follow what others say, and have a higher attitude towards things than others. Sometimes they will talk to themselves when they are alone. It has nothing to do with loneliness, it just has richer connotations. Not even autistic.

Easier

First of all, autism is classified as a developmental disorder caused by a disorder of the nervous system. Its symptoms include social difficulties, communication skills, and stereotyped interests and behavior patterns. . Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder, a mental illness characterized by severe, widespread impairment of social interaction and communication skills, and stereotyped behaviors, interests, and activities.

Moreover, the IQ of 80% of autistic people is lower than that of ordinary people due to the influence of autism.

It is undeniable that some autistic people show superior IQ in some aspects because of their stereotyped interests, but we must recognize the reality that autistic people are no better than normal people. High IQ.

Unfortunately, with the current publicity in our country, many people do not understand autism and think that autism is just introversion, unwilling to talk, and likes to be alone. Moreover, many young parents believe that the so-called noble people are slow to speak, which delays their children's recovery and intervention.

So here, I hope everyone can learn more about autism and provide help and tolerance for autistic people in society.

No. There is no absolute in this! Autism is a developmental cognitive disorder

Not necessarily, nothing is absolute!

No
