Hmmm. They say I'm smart. I don't know about that. I have some modest art ability, enough to help me express myself, so I'm happy. I guess I learn things fast. I know that I was put in a gifted program, but since i have some sort of mathematics problem and have what some call a "brain damage profile" in my IQ test, it's hard to say.
I would agreee that I think I had to develop a lot of so called smarts to stay alive. I haven't noticed that my meds take my creativity away, but the daily crunch of jobs and kids leaves me wiped out to the point that being creative is difficult.
