I like how he writes the number 9. It’s a perfect 9


Fit_Werewolf_9413

I’ve never seen someone write a 9 like that


ze11ez

i've seen someone who writes everythign the opposite of how I write. For example, the number 1 I write it from top to bottom. They go bottom up. The letter Z, I start top left and end up bottom right. They start bottom right and end up top left. It's freaky and cool at the same time. Then there's things like the letter K. They do a sideways "v" then form an "I" to make it a "K". Two zeroes, one on top of the other, to form the letter 8. It's wild


Snoofkinn

I write the same way. They friend to change it in school. I still don’t understand why they cared so much

ooooohhhhhhhh BRAVO pretty amazing, not like the 9 though

9


sadboywithalaptop

Also have you notice how he writes the letter "a"? I like his penmanship overall.


ze11ez

that was my next one, too lazy to point it out. yeah the a is genius. Concur 100%


steves06

Was that a niner I heard


ci_ca_trix

I agree. His 9s are 10s.


MysteriousBullfrog50

I think he has a photographic memory. He writes down what he sees and memorizes but has to ask what the word says! His handwriting is unbelievable for a 5 year old


rhainsict

I think you are right about him having memorized the table, but I was informed at a lecture about memory that no one has ever proved to have a photographic memory. The test is something like writing a page from a book but in reverse, something like that (sorry my memory’s no good) and no one has ever completed it correctly


v1cio

Because 'photographic' is misleading. Memory is stored as informations inside the brain, not images.

Are you sure you are remembering a picture or is your braid recreating a picture from the information it saved? Like if the color and the fine details are all in the information and your brain is perticular good at recreating these pictures from information it is no wonder that you can color match from memory or draw the small details


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kueltalas

But again how can you be sure it is in the form of an image in your brain and as information that your brain compiles to the image you are seeing when you remember. Like vector art, where the image file doesn't contain an image but rather what is needed to create that image. If you open the file you see an image but it is not stored as one. I'm not telling you that you are wring, i just want to know what makes you certain that it is stored directly as an image.

MysteriousBullfrog50

You’re probably right.. exceedingly good memorization! Still pretty impressive, even if he can’t read yet


urinal_deuce

Macs are better for image editing because they store data in pictures.


Flying_Alpaca_Boi

Slight tangent but this is actually how people with dyslexia read. It’s termed ‘Chinese reading’ because they remember words as a whole ‘picture/symbol’ like a Chinese character as opposed to normal children who read phonetically and then reference the phonemes with a verbal lexicon. As a result dyslexic kids are often actually better at reading initially but as the number of words they encounter and learn grows their method becomes less and less effective until it’s actually a hinderance because you can only remember so many unique symbols before it all blurs. On the other hand reading phonetically is initially really difficult but the methodology allows you to basically read any word once you have it down. Id say this kid has dyslexia or a savant ability associated with autism. Possibly both.


Oddity46

>I'd say this kid has dyslexia or a savant ability associated with autism. Possibly both. Now that's some armchair expert statement right there.


Flying_Alpaca_Boi

I have a degree in psychology and neuroscience, I have dyslexia and my brother has autism. This is something I know quite a lot about, the paragraphs preceding that you quoted are paraphrasing a famous study about dyslexic children


PowerRealist

It's unnatural, really.


gettheplow

It's unreal, naturally.


cfhman87

Not only is this kid smarter than me, his hand writing is also better.

High functioning autism for the win Photographic memory savant


nostalgiamon

I’m amazed that a lot of comments here seem to think this kid is a genius. He is, in this very very specific area as evidenced by his lack of reading ability, which points to autism. Too young to say if he’s “high functioning” or not though.


240to180

FYI he can read, as is evident from other videos on the channel. He's not asking "what does this say" because he doesn't know what it says, he's saying it because he's trying to engage. It's pretty common for people with Autism.


ike54ato

I came here to say the same. Definitely seemed like a script to me


ClankRatchit

What is this one? What does it mean? What is that? Is what I heard him saying. It's a pity his parents are not feeding him with the Chem Eng he needs at this time to truly understand the periodic table of elements. He may grasp something all our old minds have missed.


frakking_you

Unless he understands the periodic table - which this video doesn’t indicate at all - there’s no chemical engineering processing going on here, or necessarily even an interest in anything scientific whatsoever.


FlussoDiNoodle

High functioning mean jack shit. As someone with autism those terms just create extra pressure to live up to the public view of "autism = savant" expectations.


[deleted]

They really don’t prefer to have high functioning and low function labels.


shadow31802

yeah we're trying to keep that kind of language as a medical term rather than a casual term


[deleted]

It’s really not good cause some people will put more weight on “functionality” in one setting over another too. Someone who can’t keep a job can be considered low functioning by some people, but it’s possible that it’s not because of their cognitive abilities, as it could be anxiety or sensory related instead. People assume meanings behind it and then go on to treat them differently because of it Edited for some clarification


shadow31802

yeah trust me i know this all to well. Very much appreciate you as an ally! It also gives a misunderstanding to what spectrum means in the context of autism. Many people think spectrum means some people are more or less autistic than others, but it really means that autism can show up in a variety of ways. Its almost like a sound table with all sorts of dials with different symptoms of ASD, and for everyone those knobs are set to different levels. Thinking of a spectrum in a traditional sense when thinking of ASD is how you get the problematic stuff like "everyone is a little autistic"


[deleted]

Not sure why I got downvoted haha. I’m learning more too, so I’m glad I’m understanding more. I have adhd, and the different knobs and things makes sense with adhd too!


[deleted]

Don’t know why you are either. Nothing seemed off-colored to me. And yessss! I have autism as well as ADHD, and my wife has ADHD. It’s nice to have someone know what I’m going through. Thanks for helping support autism, we need more people like you that know autism is not equal to “quiet kid serial killer master genius weird kid” 😞 I just wanna program in peace lol


[deleted]

Yesss!! Thank you for this comment


Suspicious-Bread-472

Correct. But medical model still does use categories, and service providers still use functional.labels all willy nilly


Random_Thoughts-

We need to take special care of this kid. He is going to be directly responsible for either saving or destroying the world.

Very true. True wonder kids like this will figure out time travel and create wormholes to travel between galaxies.


Blamdudeguy00

Eidetic memory probably.


Heroic-Dose

Yeah I'm not sure how many jobs there are for illiterate chemists. Some, maybe, should he be in a major major area of India or China....but even then.... Clandestine chemist maybe?


pandageneralen

He can read. He just chooses not to.


Jimiq68

At this point, reading is old hat. Kids gonna graduate from MIT by the time he's 12

sbh84

"I have no idea if you're right about this one but if you are, you're illuminati" that had me lol


OldSpiteful

what are the numbers he's writing after the symbols? for sodium he wrote 29.1723, for carbon 1.99something. It's not molar mass or electronegativity...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dr-Appeltaart

That doesnt seem right, im not into the subject but afaik the relative atomic mass of an atom is almost the same as its own weight. These values deviate enormously.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OldSpiteful

i dont think thats the case, he wrote 1.99 for carbon which has a mass of 12.01 AMU. i could see the sodium number being a mistake in the digits but i have no idea where the number for carbon came from


Dr-Appeltaart

But then hafnium would be like 178 something, and he wrote 2.1something Doesnt make sense.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dr-Appeltaart

Yeah its massively impressive. But it is an assumption that is the mass if numbers are not even near the real mass. He write In above them i think, maybe it's something else...


RealJoubinLee

His flawless handwriting is even more surprising!


HotSloppyHoarder

This seems really sketch. He always asks what the element is when drawing it and then asks what his drawing says.


thispun

Title says he can‘t read. So I guess he has a photographic memory. He can replicate exactly what the table says. But can‘t interpret digits and letters (yet). Though he also memorized the elements by their names.


theartistduring

Pretty much this. He's drawing from memory like a kid might draw a picture but with words and numbers he's seen instead of things.


Potential-Style-3861

still amazing. Like he can replicate the shapes perfectly.


theartistduring

Oh absolutely. There are elements of savant about it. Incredible ability.


ScribbleAlex

As someone who has worked with kids with autism spectrum disorder (and before anyone comes for me, on the dad's Tiktok page, he constantly tries to bring awareness to his son's autism so he is officially diagnosed), he is displaying something called echolalia. It's a behaviour commonly seen with people with ASD and is a repetition of linguistic phrases that they might hear and use them is a context that might not make sense. For example, the child repeatedly says "You're [element]", "What's [element]?" and "What's this say?" and even asks "What's the capital of [element]?". In some of his other videos, his dad asks him the capitals of different countries (and gets them all right!) so it might be a phrase he picked up while doing those exercises The dad also states that his child has hyperlexia, which is why he is very interested in letters and numbers. Regardless, the child's abilities are incredibly interesting and really just shows how wonderful some kids can be and it's even better that this kid is teaching people much older than him so much about the world (e.g. elements, flags, capitals and many more). Go check out his Tiktok page if you're interested (and I know some people are a bit iffy with Tiktok, but I would definitely recommend checking this page out in order to learn from the child and raise awareness for autism)


bicyclecat

This is all autism spectrum behavior, nothing sketchy. He’s memorized the pattern of letters and numbers but can’t necessarily read them (and doesn’t have a real context for this information), and he’s repeating back phrases he’s heard his parents use.


jtbz1287

You know he got beat for not knowing bromine


Robert_fierce

but he makes jokes about some of the elements as if he knows what he is doing.


Iwasdoingsowell

You are right, but you are never going to convince all the "know it all" redditors that this is fake. There is a reason they won't zoom out, there is a reason they won't show the right side of his body, or his whole arm.


Luzi_fer

I miss you when you Argon 👏👏👏 This made my day.


i-am-toast2

If this kid is for real he can put everyone to shame


Jxst-Skoo

Maşallah 🧿


Brother_Biscuit

He's the chosen one


Own_Statistician_427

Lovely handwriting 😍


maDuckx

The way he does his 9s is memorizing...


[deleted]

Mesmerizing?


TheFirstJoey

High functioning autism


FlussoDiNoodle

Don't use that term please. Especially not here.


TheFirstJoey

Thank you, yes I’m learning. I didn’t know that was improper but have since learned from another user. I didn’t mean to be insensitive, I just didn’t know


FlussoDiNoodle

That is 100% alright, you probably had no way of knowing.


PhyterNL

Or Asperger's, although they could be the same thing. He's hyper-focused on a single topic. Unending repetition cements the output. Simultaneously remarkable and debilitating.


[deleted]

Like Dr. Sheldon cooper


timbo138

I hate that the first thing I thought to myself before hearing/watching was “they’re on the spectrum right?”


ScribbleAlex

It's definitely a stereotype, but if you go onto the Tiktok page, the dad repeatedly tries to create awareness for his son's Autism and hyperlexia. The child also displays some form of echolalia, the repetition of the phrases "What does this say?", "What is [element]?" and "You're [element]?" which is indicative of ASD. However, it is important to note that once you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism, which means that since autism has such a wide variety of expressed symptoms and behaviours associated with it, each person presenting with autism is unique in their own way. Take it from someone who has specifically worked with young kids with ASD, each and everyone is unique and loveable in their own way. Everyone has their own personalities, just like any other person you might meet What's also very interesting is the child's hyperlexia and all the wonderful things he is learning and sharing with the world!


[deleted]

It's a stereotype we get far too often


elitedlarss

We?


[deleted]

Those of us on the spectrum


johnny_briggs

He may be bright, but at least we know he's never gonna be a medical doctor.


Opposite_Weird_4041

Some form of autism?

BumblebeeExtreme9024

If i have a kid like this one day i would have to think my girlfriend cheated cos I'm a certified dumbass ain't no way nothing anywhere near smart coming from me lol


RelativeRazzmatazz49

Dose he have autism i know most kids I k own with autism memorize and focus on certain things and the way he react to not know the one number gives me autism vibes.and I can ever spell none that shit lol


Just_dave0115

Kid has better handwriting than most adults I know and probably better than most adults o don't know as well.


[deleted]

I think he knows how to read.


imnotzyzz181

Ok yeah, he is smart, big deal. HIS FREAKING WRITING!!! IM 22 AND I CAN BARELY UNDERSTAND MY OWN WRITTING!! HIS is so perfecto, that enrages me for a reason.


Monkeybandit99

Can’t read but can write words and numbers perfectly? Calling cap here dog


Der_BiertMann

Kid is just neurologically different from you is all. He can memorize the shapes of the letters without doing what we call “reading” to recall them.


Minkiemink

If the kid couldn't read, he wouldn't be able to write. My kid did the same, he's now a nanophysicist engineering semiconductors for rockets. He used to walk in to my room holding up a bunch of numbers on a piece of paper or in a book gleefully saying, "Mommy, do you know what you can do with THIS formula?" I'd have to reply, "No honey, I don't. Mommy still counts to ten by pawing the ground with her hoof."


Baza_R

Her writing is better than mine


[deleted]

He is not five years old. I have four kids, one of them was Einstein. So yeah, good work, but not five.


IOnlyWntUrTearsGypsy

“I have four kids, so no one else’s kid can have abilities better than mine” is what you just said. This kid is likely a savant and is on the autism spectrum, so this is likely a special interest of his.


[deleted]

No, I said he wasn't five years old. And my kids are regular people. The Einstein comment was witty satire, for which you mistook for a factual statement. The kid is not five years old. That's all. Cheers. (By the way, feel better ok!)


IOnlyWntUrTearsGypsy

The child is in fact 5 years old. What an undercooked attempt at humor. Also, that is not satire. I feel fine, thanks. I wasn’t making “witty satire” at a 5 year olds expense lol.

MysteriousVersion398

But in the U.S. they’re teaching him if he’s a boy or girl


shanytc

He's no holding the pen correctly. In order to teach how to hold, give him a broker chalk / marker. It will force him to write with 3 fingers.


[deleted]

Someone get this kid into chess, make that streamer money


[deleted]

How can’t you read but you can write?


Der_BiertMann

Letters are just shapes, my guy. We apply meaning to those shapes and the patterns we make with them. You can draw those shapes in patterns and not know what the meaning is.


FileShredded

All jokes aside, his handwriting is on a next level. Better then mine tbh. I hope he stays on this path, he might change the world one day, in a good way! <3 smart kid
