Module 7: Module Notes: Special Abilities<\/p>\n
As you review the material in this module, consider the fictional case of Jack. Reflect on the disorders first observed in childhood, think about what might be contributing to his behavior, and what might be puzzling from the\u00a0report. You might also want to keep the case of Jack in mind for future modules.<\/p>\n
Select the\u00a0Scenario\u00a0button to learn more.<\/p>\n
Scenario<\/p>\n
In this module, you examine the disorders that may first appear in infancy or childhood such as\u00a0Down syndrome\u00a0or\u00a0autism. This module also introduces some other disorders, such as\u00a0conduct disorder, which shows the onset of symptoms in childhood, but may not become maladaptive until adolescence.<\/p>\n
You also further explore those cognitive disorders that may appear in older adults such as\u00a0Parkinson\u2019s disease\u00a0or\u00a0Alzheimer\u2019s disease. The causes of these disorders, if known, differ widely, but some are the results of genetic problems, like\u00a0Fragile X syndrome, while others, such as\u00a0fetal alcohol syndrome, are the effects of environmental insults.<\/p>\n
Module 7: Scenario: Hyperactivity<\/p>\n
Jack is a 22-year-old single male, employed full-time at an advertising agency. He is the youngest junior executive that the firm ever had, and by all accounts, is quite successful. Throughout his life, he has been told how creative he is. He has also been described as \u201cflighty, scatterbrained, disorganized, impatient, and a procrastinator.\u201d He says, \u201cI am also known as the\u00a0late Jack Adams, not because I am dead, but because I am always 5\u201310 minutes late.\u201d He reports, \u201cI do not try to be, I just always misjudge time. Everything seems to take about 10 minutes in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack does not use alcohol or drugs, and by all reports, his behavior has been consistent throughout his lifetime. \u201cIt was really tough when I was a kid. People would tell me to calm down all the time, when I felt pretty calm; I just did not look like it from the outside.\u201d He reports that though he found\u00a0workarounds\u00a0for school, it was always a challenge of\u00a0self-control. He says, \u201cI just did not learn like everyone else and it was really hard in classes when the material was not that interesting. I had to find ways to make it interesting or I just couldn\u2019t hack it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Socially Jack was quite successful, especially with those who appreciated his quick wit and his lively nature. Additionally, he said, \u201ceven though some things that did not seem hard for others were tough for me, I did have\u00a0special skills\u00a0that also set me apart.\u201d These skills included his abundant creativity. Due to his unwillingness to accept the status quo, he would often find solutions to problems of which no one else thought. He reports he is also good at \u201cfinding the needle in the haystack. When anyone ever lost anything, they would call me over and I would just see it right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
He says, \u201cearly on, I knew I was different and tried to find situations where it was appreciated. Sure, I had my workarounds, but some things were never going to be a fit for me. I am grateful that I figured that out sooner than later. It has not always been easy, but I love my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
