Fourteen-year-old Nathaniel Clark lives in two worlds--the outside world
of his family and friends and his own, special, inside Aspie world,
where he's not forced to interact with people or worry about wearing his
clothes right-side out. The world where he can solve mathematical
problems that elude even the brightest graduate students. The world
where he feels he can find his own inner truth. People say he's a
genius, but Nathaniel thinks differently. According to a book he once
read, a true genius uses his talent to make a contribution to the world.
Nathaniel takes the definition literally, and begins his quest for
genius status. "I will start, right after I wash the chocolate off my
face. If I want to be seen as a genius, I should not look like an
idiot." Nathaniel has a sky-high IQ and perfect SAT scores, but Jennifer
Roy and her husband, Greg, have a remarkable 8-year-old son, Adam, who
not only inspired the character of Nathaniel Clark, but also created the
"Amazing Race" charts and the narrative at the back of MindBlind.
