Adam is not a patient

This movie is plain and clear, and it is endlessly memorable. When I just finished reading it, I felt like I knocked over the five-flavored bottle. I couldn't tell what it was like. After two months of busy work, I didn't forget it, but sorted out my thoughts. What I want to say is that Adam is not a patient. Asperger is not so much a psychological disease as it is a sociological phenomenon.
At the beginning, people know nothing, except instinct, all need to be acquired, and interpersonal communication is the same as other skills. There are too many things to learn, humans’ time and intelligence are simply not enough, we must make allocation choices. The determined part is called "talent", and the determined part is completed by educational efforts, but the result is the same. It's that everyone is different and has strengths and weaknesses. A genius like Adam, from a very young age, is easy to accept scientific knowledge, and the sense of accomplishment and curiosity brought about by this kind of acquisition drives him to think and study in this direction. The most valuable thing is life. The simplicity of the environment and his father's educational philosophy will not disturb him, so he walks obsessively on a road and will not be swayed by other scenery. While he has made outstanding achievements, he naturally loses other learning opportunities. In contrast, people who disperse their energy to study humanity and sophistication will naturally have less energy to focus on a single skill, and their achievements will also be weakened.
Therefore, Adam's inability to distinguish between truth and hypocrisy, and the inability of many people to understand scientific theories, is essentially the same thing, but the number is different. There is a very strange phenomenon here. On the one hand, people confirm that there are far more mediocre people in society than talented people. On the other hand, they often recognize the ways and methods of most people. They regard Adams as freaks, but do not reflect on themselves. How much value and social contribution do things have. No one is a patient, just different habits, so Adam is no longer so scared in a relatively pure scientific environment. This movie is a sharp mirror that allows the sane people to see the ugliness of hypocrisy and allows Adam to recognize their value. Therefore, many audiences fall in love with Adam like the heroine. "When I find you, I'll find me." The singing sounded when Adam was looking for Beth, because Adam recognized his value in Beth's love, but it deeply touched my heart because I saw people in Adam. The precious truth in the essence.
Although there are not too many extreme examples in reality, there are many people who are not good at communication. Some find it meaningless, some don't want to compromise themselves, some are too lazy to think about it, and some are unfamiliar with methods. But precisely because of this, they can concentrate on their respective fields and achieve more practical results. Perhaps life is not lively, but please cherish this quiet, use your troubled time to enhance your value and make real and meaningful contributions to others. Although they often don't appreciate it, their qualifications are limited, no wonder.
