EQ IQ ?Q - Intelligence Quotient, Emotional Quotient or any other (*Q) - are a means of measure people try to use to quantify one's mental abilities. Having Asperger's Syndrome (higher-functioning autism) myself, I am blessed with a very high IQ but a very low EQ. Aspies generally have a low EQ, leading to many difficulties in dealing with others. I came up with this pendant as sort of a reminder that intelligence really is relative. The puzzle piece is generally used by many to promote autism awareness. Also note the rigid, logical "I" and the artistic, more 'emotional' "E" and the "Q" that is a bit of both. NOTE: no necklace or such is provided by Shapeways at this time. You are purchasing the pendant only. The hole is 0.1" in diameter, which should facilitate many jewelry chains, or at least a split ring.

I came up with this letter cube as sort of a reminder. Modeled after the GEB cube (Gödel, Escher, Bach) - all three who are thought to have been autistic themselves. See smaller version at http://www.shapeways.com/model/474591. I am producing a video series to explore the mysteries of autism. see my web site at www.jamac.info for more detail.

The puzzle of autism. - The causes of and understanding of what autism really is continue to be a mystery to most. The puzzle piece is often used to represent autism. NOTE: no necklace or such is provided by Shapeways at this time. You are purchasing the pendant only. I am working on a video series that will explore the mysteries of autism its cause and how to, not only deal with its 'problems,' but also how to harness its 'superpowers.'
