The intramural debate on the differential diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents is unlikely to find a quick resolution. Part of the reason is the complexity of symptom presentation in these children and the frequent overlap with other disorders, said Boris Birmaher, M.D., who chaired a session on the topic at the annual meting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Chicago last October. "In bipolar, symptoms fluctuate and appear in addition to a child's other psychiatric disorders," said Birmaher, a professor of psychiatry, director of the child and adolescent anxiety program, and co-director of the child and adolescent bipolar services at the University of Pittsburgh's Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. Hundreds of potential comorbidities make everything murkier, he said.

First off, you may be surprised to find that Albert Einstein is not included on this list. The reason is that I have used a table of IQ estimates for historical geniuses to determine the members and order of this list, and Einstein’s IQ (around 160) did not make the grade. Despite that, he is still the first person to pop in to most people’s minds when thinking of a genius. Having said that, here is a list of the ten greatest geniuses in history. In full – Anne-Louise-Germaine Necker, Baronne (baroness) de Staël-Holstein, byname Madame de Staël. Madame de Stael was a French-Swiss woman of letters, political propagandist, and conversationalist, who epitomized the European culture of her time, bridging the history of ideas from Neoclassicism to Romanticism.

Idiot Savant
Modern psychologists and educators have sought the nature, operation, and development of intelligence in humans, yet denied the existence of God or a Supreme Beingthe source of intelligence. Many scientists believe that intelligence exists within human genes and is the result of neural (i.e., brain cell) networks configured in the brain as the result of various experiences. Simply put, they define intelligence materially or in terms of physical matter. Most definitions of intelligence say nothing about its source. Howard Gardner, Professor of Education at Harvard University, in his book Frames of Mind defines intelligence as: "the ability to solve problems or to create products (p.
Reports of a relatively high prevalence of absolute pitch (AP) in autistic disorder suggest that AP is associated with some of the distinctive cognitive and social characteristics seen in autism spectrum disorders. Accordingly we examined cognition, personality, social behavior, and language in 13 musicians with strictly defined AP (APS) and 33 musician controls (MC) without AP using standardized interviews and tests previously applied to identify the broad autism phenotype seen in the relatives of autistic probands. These included the Pragmatic Rating Scale (PRS) (social aspects of language) the Personality Assessment Schedule (PAS) (rigidity, aloofness, anxiety/worry, hypersensitivity), and WAIS performance subtests (PIQ). On the basis of their behavior in the interviews, subjects were classified as socially eccentric, somewhat eccentric, or not eccentric.
Autism and Perfect pitch
Absolute pitch in a four-year-old boy with autism. [Pediatr Neurol. 2008] - PubMed result
Absolute pitch is the ability to identify the pitch of an isolated tone. We report on a 4-year-old boy with autism and absolute pitch, one of the youngest reported in the literature. Absolute pitch is thought to be attributable to a single gene, transmitted in an autosomal-dominant fashion. The association of absolute pitch with autism raises the speculation that this talent could be linked to a genetically distinct subset of children with autism. Further, the identification of absolute pitch in even young children with autism may lead to a lifelong skill.
