The Importance of Spatial Reasoning in Early Childhood Mathematics – I find this interesting because of the above article about allergic tendencies mentions that those who suffer severe allergies have increased spatial reasoning which makes you better at mathematics. I have super severe allergies and math has always been a boring repetitive exercise. I have lots of Math books. I learn and understand math immediately. Algebra was boring, physics was just applied algebra same with Geometry. I only do math when I need to and often just review what I need to get the problem solved.

New study reveals why some people are more creative than others – I read about creativity because I am insanely creative, to the point I can’t stop daydreaming. When I am not doing something super complex that requires complex thinking I go into imagination land and the world around me disappears and I make huge messes as I solve problems like how does gravity work, or how to manipulate matter and create new atoms. I really want to learn about math, chemistry and physics, my brain is insanely creative. I have a severe form of ADHD and one of the highest IQ’s ever measured.
