@Mom2jl I don’t know if you watched the video about Triplett on the Atlantic article, but he’s plenty different, but older people are far more accepting of differences. He apparently sits at the coffee shop with all the other men working crossword puzzles and interjects comments from time to time without ever looking up. They just love him for who he is.

I think it is of note that both of these men are from affluent families. Tripplett’s family was wealthy and he obviously has some type of trust fund that allows him to travel regularly. Wyatt owns a plethora of weekly and small daily newspapers. I think it’s easier for parents with resources to provide for these kids and bring out their full potential.
