Atop Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) and has never been taught anything about origami or any other related sculptured paper art forms. My moms showed him a book of basics and he didn't understand why other people were doing what he was doing. He made a two inch tall Wall-E figure that closes up just like the robot does in the film. He makes things constantly she says. My mom says they are amazing, super-imaginative, complex pieces of fine art. He is a Mexican immigrant (might have Asperger's Syndrome), now in the fifth grade, and was in my mom's fourth grade class last year. I will try and obtain pics of some of the things he has made to see, for myself, if they are truly as incredible as she says but I trust my mom's aesthetic values.

Atop Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 She had another autistic child whom made up his own language. By the end of the year he had taught it to all of the kids in the class and subsequently wrote a dictionary for the language, printed up a copy for each of the kids in the class.

I think I am going to become a teacher now just to find these kids and help make their lives better by cashing in on their talents! Hehehee! No.... But I would want to help them to become recognized as the genius' that they are. messiaen said: only texan people would be interested in prodigical origami? yep.....

springymajig Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Sweet, that sounds awesome, I hope you get pictures! I'm pretty into origami too (although I'm good as Bronchuseven or anything), but I still can't really design my own stuff. I've only designed one simple flower of my own (which is so simple I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has designed it already :P ). So to imagine a kid making a transforming Wall-E blows my mind!

Kinda reminds me of this documentary I saw on the BBC about a guy that was autistic but he could draw these amazing cityscapes. He could look at a building for five minutes and draw it in incredible detail without having to see it again.

bronchuseven Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hey Atop, nice story! I was never that creative at his age.. I was just doing things from books, and continued to do so well into my teens, when I realised that most designs in origami books are lame ;) One of the exceptions, however, is a former physicist-turned-oragamiist Robert Lang. Tell your mom to recommend that this kid looks up some of his work - he's written some excellent books, particularly Origami Insects. I bet this dude of whom you speak would be able to take on those designs (some of which are fiendishly difficult) with no problem. I might even be able to loan your mum one of my Lang books, if I can find them ;) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide bronchuseven's signature Hide all signatures https://www.instagram.com/foldedcrystals/ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/44041-a-child-at-my-mothers-school/#findComment-994190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
