I was very inquisitive as a child and a teenager. I have an old tape recording on which I, as a two year old child, keep repeating the question to my father "What's in it?" with the microphone in front of my face to record my voice, "Microphone, my son, sing or speak something", he would say each time I ask, obviously not satisfying me with his answer.
I think I asked questions not only to satisfy my hunger for knowledge, but also to spare some effort to look after the knowledge by myself. I wonder if it had been a product of early appearances of executive dysfunction or some kind of learning disability.
