Who’s afraid of the amygdala? Research blows away "fear center" myth

Wow, I wish I had some real advice for you and your son. I have lived that life and should be able to offer some guidance by now. Your son is equipped to be an artist or musician or performer of rare skill. He needs to be encouraged to follow his muse when it speaks to him and to be patient about learning the skills necessary. Sensitivity and intelligence go hand in hand to form the curious open mind required to create something new. Encourage him that his gift is real and needs to be respected and nurtured. The world will want to crush it out of him. He must become a warrior for his own cause.
