trait that creative geniuses often share

[Erthona]

That was my experience growing up, more so i the church prison camp (mon-wed-sun, morn&night) where they said I was spoiled. They said I had uncontrolled energy, which of course was a sign of Satan at work. The excess energy was actually me trying to compensate, and overcompensating instead for lack of energy. It was not quite do bad at the public noneducational system. I was only known there as a troublemaker, not as a spawn of Satan.
Both of my daughters have similar problems, but not to may degree. Being creative is no blessing. When I was doing drug and alcohol work, I noticed about 50% of that population fit this mold. I suspect what got a lot of them into drugs was an effort to clam down their brain and be able to focus. Without a doubt a large percentage of speed and coke users fit this profile. When interviewing the family members of these people, someone would invariably say, they just can't seem to stick with things, they can't settle down.
