The Growing Pains of a Teenage [Math] Genius
Full kid genius documentary by Reel Truth: What do you do when your child is gifted and his or her academic ability has overtaken yours? In a lot of ways, 13-year-old Cameron Thompson is a normal teenage boy -- obsessed with computer games, showing the first hints of a moustache, and nursing a newfound interest in girls. But he is also a math genius who is currently completing an Open University degree in applied mathematics. It is this ability that has singled him out -- as well as an intense social awkwardness his parents put down to his autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Can Cameron Thompson balance the need to remain the genius he has been -- and therefore be different -- with the classic teenage longing to be accepted? #reeltruth #documentary #autismawareness
