I am very curious about everything and everyone I see . . . and so I have felt invisible also, as a child feels himself invisible, beneath the radar of adult supervision. The consequence of so much unsupervised freedom was that I became precociously independent. Do children today still feel "invisible, beneath the radar" given today's general lack of "so much unsupervised freedom?" Or was Foos invisibility/curiosity dynamic just a product of his disorder? In college, I was career given advice along the lines of, "you're a student, you're still under the radar and get access to so many things normally off limits to the public. use this. go to different types of companies, ask for special tours, ask questions you don't think they'll answer--learn how things really work. you're not competition to them, yet." Though now days, I'm pretty sure students are on the radar, and would just be routed to the official corporate intern/co-op/recruiter/etc program.
