- In a lot of ways 13-year-old Cameron Thompson is a normal teenage boy; obsessed with computer games, sporting the first hints of a moustache and a newfound interest in girls. However he is also a maths genius who is currently doing an Open University degree in applied mathematics and has Asperger's Syndrome, both of which create challenges in his life. Can Cameron balance the need to remain the genius he has always been, and therefore different, with the classic teenage longing to be accepted?

He snapped with the facts 💀
R/madlad this kid
@FUDDLEYP JONES in a way, yes. He has a brilliant mind, but he's still a kid. I feel it may just be too much of a pressure for him, pushing him beyond his state can give him a lot of mental weight. Not to mention he is unable to illustrate effectively from the problems he suffers from, so it's only better to wait for the right time as he improves and grows a little older.
I love how he has no respect for art but rates his sister on her ability on the swings.
Game respects game.
he likes girls now so he's recognizing beauty.
The most important thing is that you like it.
He is a bit like my son ( who is also autistic) not having the ability to understand or recognize emotions. Art is very subjective, emotional, and not literal. My son is very literal, it's very hard for him to "imagine" unreal things. This young man is all literal and has a very structured thought pattern. Yeah! Hormones and autism DON"T mix! Cameron will do well, time and practice will help him work through his struggles.
@@marymess454 Show him fractal art.
his parents are truly incredible. they aren’t upset with him for being upset. they are really trying to understand his feelings of stress and make it feel better. they don’t want him overwhelmed. he is very lucky
If his parents were lower class dopes, they wouldn't care
Amazing parents!
@@RookhKshatriya classifying it as lower class. You wouldnt even want to bother....
Truly. Often behind these overachieving children are overachieving parents that never truly hit their own mark and are trying to live vicariously through there children. His passion is truly his own and is driven by his own desire to achieve and they are reeling him in to create more balance for a more sustainable future. Extraordinary family
Yeah wish I had such parents. child can go only as far as their parents allow them too.
so he's just getting "bad" grades because he isn't explaining it, not because he doesn't understand it. end my life rn
Dude for real i be out here failing because of it
Well, that's the thing isn't it.
When it comes to maths, I just know the answer. I completely understand this guy (whom I think is now 21 years old, I can't find his current progress online unfortunately.), it's frustrating trying to explain it to someone because, it's just there... In my head.
It's hard to even explain the process of thought. Well, think of it like this... Can you tell me what neural pathways are used to lift your hand? Nope, but you know how to lift your hand. (Thus you can skip the explaining and just lift your hand)
It's just fascinating.
@@elliebarton8003 you too? so much talent here wow
@@guyinaroom7771 The thing with math is, that understanding it is one part, but being able to explain it to others is also really important. Since yk, what does it bring when you solved a math problem but nobody understands what you mean? xd
@@raa9756 Well only if it's something new though right? people solve math problems all the time that have been solved thousands of times.
he's flexing on the other kids without even knowing
Erinne Cat he didn’t say it was a bad thing idiot
@Erinne Cat You're really negative... No one mentioned about his disability because it's not a part of the "flex" and no one said his flex was bad.
Maybe I'm miss reading your tone.
@Erinne Cat it's literally just sharing in all honestly, you've taken the slang aggressively and decided to get booty tickled about 2 comments.
I don't mind being flexed at because I see it as someone just being proud of "the thing" whatever it may be. It's not like he's mocking his friends for not knowing math as well. He's also just explaining where he's moving.
You're too sensitive for the internet....
@Erinne Cat oh and I stopped using flex in quotations because you clearly missed them the first time.
@Erinne Cat I'm a 28 year old medical assistant who is currently working on my masters in psychology... I don't need to waste my time with you overreacting. I can procrastinate elsewhere.
And read the last thing you said "usually"... You decided it was bad even though there were other options. My point stands

+Dreaddy Bear It's most likely won't help him. Philosophy requires abstract thinking, and that is incapable of that. His brain is wired in logic, that why he is unable to understand art. He needs structures, and he needs to understand logically everything, for him to make sense out of it. But arts and socialization is mostly emotional and is difficult to understand it logically....
The human brain is limited in functions, and gifted peoples just get more points in certain areas, but less in the rest, so they are unbalanced.

He is the real Young Sheldon. Amazing
I'm not sure I've ever seen a more wonderful and inspiring set of parents. They love without smothering. They advise without commanding. They support without judging. And to do all this with no blueprint for a son so gifted, and also so challenged, is something that really deserves the utmost praise!
Also, honorable mention to the teacher as well. As someone who found himself stuffed in a similar program because of a physical disability, I can tell you firsthand that teachers like her are absolute unicorns. She's also one in a million.
And on top of being amazing parents to one brilliant child with his own challenges. They are wonderful parents to 3 children! Another one of which is also autistic. They put in such effort with their children. It's so amazing and admirable. I remeber once my biological parents were having the biggest fight in the living room. I hid in my room and just wailed crying. This was at like 13 as well. And my step dad came in and smacked me. He said, stop crying! And I stopped crying because I didn't want to be hit. I couldn't imagine having challenges like these children and having my parents to contend with.

Fitting in isn’t necessary; just friends. He could make older friends like him. He needs confidence that he is okay being unique; Imho. There isn’t anything wrong with this young man. He’s adorable.
This guy's brain is really incredible; that puzzle with the coins near the beginning of the video for example. I paused the video, thought about it for some time, got out a pen and paper, worked through the first 8 examples for smaller cases, came up with a conjecture, tried to prove it rigorously, before eventually coming up with a hand wavy justification that I understood for why it worked that. All in all, I think it took me about 20 minutes to get to an answer. Play the video again, and Cameron stumbles a couple of times, then manages to get to the correct answer just by working it through in his head. His brain must be working so fast for all of that to happen; it probably took him less than a minute, all without writing a single symbol. That's extraordinary, and I hope that people can appreciate that fact.

As a person with Asperger’s syndrome myself, I can relate to those panic attacks. Though I am more interested in art and I talk about it too much. But, please stop treating us differently. As we are people too. But, we think differently than others. If you get to accept and understand us more, we are actually very nice people.
I was having one along with him! xD Mby one day when he's grown some more, he decides to draw some mathematical shapes, and realizes there's art in maths too. Who know :), he's still only young (mby he never likes it, my cousin doesn't like music still in his 40's, and that blows my mind as it's my passion - there's also A LOT of maths in music too if you look lol). ;)
I wish someone would teach him that art is backed up by math. Art is an expression of math and when math catches up, we will all understand the importance (beyond beauty) of art. Math is the language of nature and art is the expression.
I find the simplest way of introducing children who are more focused on mathematics such as this case is to try and get them into engineering from a young age and slowly move into architecture, to show how mathematics and aesthetics can combine interact with one another. I generally start off by showing sculpture work by David C. Roy. He combines his background in aeronautical engineer working on jet engines with his wife's passion for art and design, to make kinetic wooden sculptures that can move in motion for hours at a time. Yes, there is beauty in nature but it can be difficult to show that beauty to someone Cameron who has a hard time understanding emotions what most people can see while observing nature and art. But with something like kinetic sculptures theirs the physical beauty is not only the engineering of the parts and how they correspond to one another but also in a mathematical sense, how each click of the gear equals one rotation of a wheel but depending on the rotation and force applied the way the sculpture can appear varies. Also, the beauty of seeing your mathematical theory put into a physical would most likely help him understand how art can appease others even if he doesn't truly understand it from another view.
“When math catches up” hahahahahahahahahahaha
No wonder he struggles with university level math.
I was saying the same thing in a different kind of way, but I came to the conclusion he just isnt ready for it yet maybe, that's something that one grows to understand and like, and I'm sure he will see within time, just like when his hormones kicked in, he started to like girls, when he is pondering things on more of a deeper level as age comes he may start to realize at least the value of art. I imagine one day he will be drawing complex mathematical shapes and it will suddenly come to him in a moment of realization of their beauty, but hey, who knows heh.
@@ilo5736 I think he meant with human's abilities to utilize maths, as maths just is maths, whether we have figured something out with it or not yet is our abilities to use it, which is what I'm assuming he was referring to.
His identity is being a genius, when he gets the lower Mark's, he loses his identity.
Yeah it's really bad parenting actually to have ridiculously high expectations for your child and tell them. They will fear failure and never take risks.
@@JLydecka It is not his parents expectations, it is Cameron's own expectations.
He is clever enough to see how he performs, so of course he expects to continue performing well in maths, or poorly in art. That is not bad parenting (did you miss where they were saying it doesn't matter & he is only young do has plenty of time to come back to the degree?) It is just a self aware intellegent person.
@@JLydecka I think you have issuses with listening to others bc it was made very clear that Cameron is the one with expectations of himself and not hes parents. Your the type of person that will never have a full healthy relationship with anyone bc u lack the ability to listen & observe

My brother in-law has Aspergers and he is a nuclear physicist. I have known him since he was in junior high, he was very quiet then, around me anyway. He only spoke to me when I spoke to him. I just thought he was a little nerdy then but didn’t realize the genius within.
"history only repeats itself.... The only difference is more advance technology"
thegemstone95 funny, that’s what stuck out to me as well...... that and the fact that only the mum baths.
I’m not a genius and I had realized that when I was fifteen
Let’s not hope for the worst to repeat.
"History is constantly repeating itself and we're constantly going through war, the only difference every time is more advanced technology." So true. Always heard the original saying growing up but times have changed.
History repeating itself that's an undeniable fact, but technology being more advanced that's still a claim to prove merely because we ignore a lot about ancient civilizations. For example, scientists say that with our modern technology we wouldn't be able to replicate the Giza pyramids with the same precision during the same period, so how they did it? That remains a mystery historians can't answer and only have theories they can't prove!

Honestly it's not that bad your normlly just really good at one thing mine was kinda 2 things history and my other was art then art turned into video games idk I kinda switch between them but history I ways always good at but honestly my reading comprehension sucks ass and I cant spell worth shit or do both but I can remember dates and tell you all about history maybe not now cause I been out of school a long while but if I got a refresher I could honestly loll
cameron is so self aware and receptive to constructive criticism and advice - so much more than many adults. he will go far:))) his parents also have such a great sense of humor with him and they all seem to know how to support each other in the right ways. amazing family!
Oh my gawd, he's so precious. I'm sure it's challenging for his parents but they're doing a great job and they must be so incredibly proud.

QueenBrunette The way he acts is very similar to my nephew, and he acts (and somehow looks) very similar to me… 🤔
My favourite part is when he is out with his "normal" friend but he is the one talking to the girl.
Cameron's wonderful. He's exactly the kind of friend I wish I'd had in school. I especially loved the bit where his dad said "We're looking for gifted, not weird" to which Cameron responded, "Why not both?" Brilliant! Beyond that, can you imagine what it's like to have someone fail you based on your inability to TEACH them how you do it, even when you have the right answers? So weird.
with math though you have to be able to demonstrate how you reached your answers. otherwise you could just copy something and theyd pass you with no questions asked
I have Aspergers and it wasn’t until I was in my fifties before I could master putting thoughts on paper. I’m now an author of nine novels. He needs a writing tutor. Someone to show him how to pull from his mind and place on the paper. Show him. Give him examples.

I think they are sort of giving him values that may give him anxiety when he grows up, his life is fragile, if he gets bullied, if his grades continue to decrease if he thinks he is failing his family or gonna become a hobo he'll probably freak out and slow down his progress and continue the cycle which is why his syndrome is actually quite negative the trade of being smart with numbers and logic but being blocked to express yourself when you need to. Humans are social he is social he needs to express himself so it can be quite damaging to a young teen.

When a young cousin of mine (who has severe mental and physical disabilities) got a trumpet for Christmas, he started to play it in front of everybody because he was so happy and proud. He wasn’t playing music, just making noises, but the whole big family was obviously very encouraging and positive.

I really don't know what to say... this was a most inspiring story. I so admire the parents and his family. This young man is so brilliant on so many levels. He may think he is a strange one, but I feel he is very insightful and comprehends his condition and is fine with it. I think he is just a gem of a person and works hard at being a lovely young man. I hope he continues to work on his social skills because he is not a machine, he is a human being and needs balance. No one should tip him only towards academics. His parents are truly the perfect parents for them. I wish them all well and hope that he and his siblings have the best outcome.
This young man could not have had better parents and his new teacher is so supportive and just extraordinary at her job.
I was already lost about 10 seconds into the coin question.
Brandon Cavormay we just coded it 😂 we are nowhere that level of genius to compute it in our heads 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same, normies.
was the answer 500 heads?
@@JANDR0 The answer was 31 Heads and 969 Numbers.
😂😂 this kid can have a bunch of friends, his sense of humor is spot on!
Exactly his social skills are better than some people in my school which is sad for this generation.
When he is older he will have lots of friends
Yes
Being sassy doesn't make you nice to be around. It's one of the struggles of aspergers people. Sarcasm and humour is easy because it's logical and requires quick thinking.
Socializing requires gut feeling and attention to others.
@@MezziK i bet this will happen!
100% perfect parents & siblings & teachers...etc! I can see this kid becoming well known brillant something. He has a sense of humor.. kind of like Einstein & Hawkings. Would love to keep up with him. Blessings to all his family...& this production team to make this public to help inspire others
This is a likable boy .....I wish him and his family all the best. It really shows that being exceptional can be a lonely and uncertain place.
I find him adorable rather than weird
It's not his problem if other ppl feel inadequate around him.
I think hes charming in his own very unique way. It would be great if everyone could be seen as charming for their own unique ways.
@keecefly No I'm ADHD not autistic but he is indeed very adorable
Same
The reality is most children struggle with friendships never mind with a child who hasn't got the ability to follow social norms and fully understand their own and others emotions. Lots of adults are the same. My son is loving and kind, but his ASD means that he struggles in groups, he feels the need to take the lead especially in school as he is very black and white and can't understand others ideas especially if he thinks it's wrong. In these situations kids with ASD are filled with anxiety which results in a fight or flight response known as meltdowns which also means that other kids are also very aware that these can happen and avoid the children. While looking at a documentary can be adorable, the reality is heart breaking as a parent as it's not just a matter of being socially awkward.
Not many parents can say “You can do you homework but if you get upset I’m making you play video games”
The parents are great.
As a public high school teacher in the United States, I was impressed by the autism/Asperger support at his school. We have special education, but if the child is bright, they are on their own. Kudos to his family! in addition, I think a math degree from Cambridge would be much more prestigious than one from an extension university.

Gifted kids in college talking about killing Justin Bieber:
...So then I said "You can have 3.5789*10^20, but you can't go beyond 10^99!"

Love it!

He is so special. I noticed that He is very self-conscious and mature, and that's very important. He knows his pros and cons.
Every Kid needs a teacher like Ms Moore and a friend like Timothy! The parents are wonderful, his siblings awesome! I loved the Cambridge Math Professor, he was so wise! I sure would like an update!
My husband has Asperger's syndrome hes a programming genius.
Both of his parents are Asperger's aswell ,one is a doctor the other a micro biologist.
I love them all with every bit of my heart.
Twisted Frannie my father is a surgeon in New York City. I hv 3 surgeon 👨⚕️ cousins and 2 more are anesthesiologists.
Assburgers haha
@@jovanydenhoed4581 ,I'm going to guess that you're a child.
It’s really amazing how some people have brains that can achieve those levels
Twisted Frannie Either put down the phone or turn off the computer if you can’t handle someone making fun of your beloved husbands condition.
Cameron is actually very handsome and the earring is making him even more charming
calm it r kelly
Haha
joS I’m dead😂😂😂😂
Bella Zh yes officer right here
_How old are ye_
I cried with him every single time he did .... having to explain what "just is" to people that would not understand it to begin with, regardless of the statements having an explanation or not
This kid is so smart. I'm not talking about his abilities in math, rather his ability to understand his mindset and awareness of his abilities and expectations. Hardly anyone, especially his age, are able to do that within their entire life.
The highest achievement you can achieve is to be yourself in a world that tries to forever change you.
Exactly don't let the world change you change it for the better.
Wow so true
25:47 "and well half of the girls have low standards" Im dying 😂😂
That was always my favourite half.
@@rasputinswalloper475 xd only ones that like me
I mean half of them are obsessed with that 'Bieber'
his dad is so sweet and patient with him, it makes me wanna cry
My daughter struggled too. I made flashcards after flashcards and I still do so that she can learn at home. It's a struggle. And I still can't imagine how much his parents went through. All I'm saying is his parents are incredible.
"History is constantly repeating itself and we're constantly going through war, the only difference every time is more advanced technology."
He's smart, sweet, funny without knowing and cares for his family so much! His dad is so awesome! And his mom. Makes me miss my dad a lot.
There’s a lot of mathematics in the arts. He may have found satisfaction in arts if it was presented through related mathematical theory.
Klara G was thinking the same thing
i wonder what his opinions are on music
*abstract*
my answer was also matematics.. It shows how much of a genius he really is. I fell confused alot.
@@baddieexox I agree, I loved starting music at a young age and learnt fractions in cello before in my math lessons
Heartwarming. What a great little guy (and his wonderful parents)!
Cameron has a great sense-of-humour. He'll do well in life.
My daughter is and I'm worried and excited that this is her future. It's a lot on her shoulders, even at 3, but we are doing our best to support.
*I have a social ability of a talking potato*
Nice to know I have something in common with a genius
Anyone else want a documentary following his buddy Tim?
Bieber is an idiot.
the one using him as a human calculator? :)
Yeah!
@@timflippance3040 lol are you THE Tim?
