 h English (en)Early on, my parents knew that the rhythm of my mind was different from that of other kids. Kristi, for one, did what she was told, played easily with other kids, and from the start got great grades. I did none of those things. My mother worried about me and warned my preschool teachers at Acorn Academy what to expect. At the end of my first year, the director of the school wrote: “His mother had prepared us for him for she seemed to feel that he was a great contrast to his sister. We heartily concurred with her in this conclusion, for he seemed determined to impress us with his complete lack of concern for any phase of school life. He did not know or care to know how to cut, put on his own coat, and was completely happy thus.” (It’s funny now that one of Kristi’s earliest memories of me includes the frustration of always being the one who had to wrestle me into my coat and then get me to lie on the floor so I was still enough for her to zip it up.)

我父母很早就知道我的心智节奏和其他小孩不一样。克莉丝蒂和其他小孩一样,很听话,很容易和其他小孩玩在一起,一开始上学就拿到好成绩。这些事情我全部做不到。我母亲很担心我,她还提前向橡果学院(Acorn Academy)幼儿园的老师说明我的情况。我上学的第一年接近尾声时,学校主任写道:“他的母亲事先告诉我们他的情况,她似乎觉得他和他姐姐完全相反,我们的看法也完全一样。他似乎就是想让我们知道,他对学校生活的各个方面都不关心。他不知道、也不想知道如何剪裁东西、穿上自己的外套,而且对此感到心满意足。”(有趣的是,克莉丝蒂对我最早的记忆就是很挫败的经验,她总是那个必须负责把我塞进外套的人,穿完外套后,她还要让我躺在地上,才能顺利帮我把拉链拉上。)
