When did you know you were different?

It isn't like you wake up one day and *poof* you are a genius. It all rotates back to a feeling when you are young. For the most part most young kids want to fit in with their school friends. But when were you positive that you are well outside of normal.?

For me, it was my speed at reading and ability to do complex math while still in 5th grade. I am not one of those people who can do complex math in their heads. I just pick things up, really well and really fast, but lacking self discipline... I would most likely not engage in topics I find boring, repetitive, or wrong, so my intelligence has a focal point.
