Scientifically speaking, how do geniuses and prodigies actually develop? If no one in the family ever exhibited signs of genius or prodigal talent, where do these people come from?

It is likely that they are a reincarnated soul that kept their skill/ability in their current young vessel.

Asian prodigies develop through years of intense nagging, scrutiny, and beatings from their mothers. Perhaps this African child's parents were using a similar technique

They exist in normy hell, where idiots ruin everything, and use force to dominate their lives.

DESU I don't think you should send 6 year old geniuses to uni yet. Going to fuck them up socially and burn them out.

A lot of African kids are really smart. It just goes under the radar. I'm pretty sure kids with Nigerian heritage score the highest on average on US Standardized tests.

>Genius with autism.
I know this is probably posted by some crappy "feel good" messaging board effectively functioning as an industrial plant but autism is overwhelmingly associated with mental retardation, not genius so It's still unclear to me where this idea of autistics being smart came from, most notably because autism awareness groups seemed to have been the first ones to push that lie.

Close. They are normies from a thousand years in the future who break temporal laws to come back to this time period to be super genius children. The mind of a 45 year old normie in a six year old's body appears to be genius. When he makes it to adulthood, he's no longer special because he has a normie level of intelligence, which is no longer impressive at adult age.

Why the fuck does half of 4chan now read like it's written by AI?

Such bullshit comments really only are about meaningless engagement with some astroturfed shit, isn't it?

Do you think there could be some kind of selection bias in which Nigerian children end up in the US?

At least, you would think whoever programmed that shit would at least try to make it not as transparent as it is here.

there's like one post on this board every 10min. feels pretty dead and if most of those posts are AI/eglin then that's depressing.

I mean, that there were shills and bots on 4chan was pretty obvious early on. It's just that you are probably still dealing with humans here too.

Reddit and X are worse because most of the traffic there is bots which, by nature, are forced to act like humans so you see them posting meaningless crap all over the place. You can ask what purpose these bots serve. Manipulation of public opinion, mostly. It's not hard to figure why Reddit is so hellbent on promoting trannies and gays.

That's probably just due to selection, but I do recall adjacency to the Niger delta being correlated with EA. Nigerians probably are the smartest West-africans, and the Igbo seem to be the smartest among them. Can't say that definitively without more SSA representation in the EA PGS and actual testing of the Igbo, though.

They certainly mean aspergers, which is actually associated with high IQ iirc. Aspies at least score normally on IQ tests.

>They certainly mean aspergers which is actually associated with high IQ
No, Asperger's just isn't associated with low IQ.
I'm old enough to remember that Asperger's was considered autism-like but not autism.
Eventually, at some point, they simply decided that it was autism, made up a spectrum of presentations with questionable similarity, and claimed some crap about how Asperger's psychological mechanisms are the same as for low-functioning autism.

I guess, financial interests and lobby group really to trump any pretense of scientific research or coherence and since autism is big business, OP's picture is about nothing than selling autism to the public. Paarents see picture of a genius kid and then, so the market strategist go, they want to get their kids diagnosed with autism.
