After several tests, the results were out: firstly, ryuwon has an above average iq of 160 and second, he has adhd, short for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and showed tendencies of asperger syndrome, a mild form of autism that affected his social intercations and his overall way of thinking. his parents were informed about the disorder and what it meant for him (hyperactivity, a short attention span and impulsiveness) and how it affected his life. He got prescribed some medication and the issue seemed to be resolved to them. Not for Ryuwon though, since he was a rather judgmental person at that time and whatever he found out about the disorder just made him think less about the people who had the condition, himself included. He would have liked to be 'Normal', since ADHD seemed the equivalent to 'problem child' or 'dissapointment' and started to loathe his condition. his parents started to view him different upon hearing of the results, they were more lenient with him and treated him in a way that clearly left no doubt that they had low expectations for him and didn't trust him to do anything right. However, he never brought it up and also turned his own frustrations inwards as he didn't want to give even more reason to see him as a child with an 'Attention deficit'.

First, before reflecting on the main topics of the article, I wanted to state that I felt that this article was extremely confusing to comprehend.
