Abstract
During my freshman year in college, I met many interesting students, professors, and professionals. One of my most memorable acquaintances was with a young gentleman, approximately 19 years old, whose physical appearance and personality was relatively different from most other students on campus. As I spent the first few weeks of precalculus class sitting directly behind him, I became increasingly puzzled by his peculiar speech and his persistent need to have mathematical concepts and instructions continuously repeated. During mealtime, I regularly observed him sitting alone or with "superficial" friends in the same general section of the resident's dining area. His bizarre persona and academic difficulties perplexed me. In some ways his behaviors reminded me of a mild mentally retarded individual who struggled academically and socially, yet intuitively I knew this was probably not the case.
