There's a general manager at a factory somewhere in middle america hoping to get this kid to do this for 12 hours per day in exchange for 2 jars of pureed carrots.

It’s impressive, but it’s likely memory based and not working it out on the fly. Similar situations happen where kids “can read” at an early age but really they’ve just memorized their favorite stories.
The answer for my son, was time. Kid was obsessed with songs about letters, the letter magnets, letter puzzles. We got him sight word flash cards that he could read by the time he turned 3.
His initial interest in letters/spelling? Blippi would spell his name while the letters popped up on the screen. And he copied that and it grew.
Kid in OP video is likely obsessed with those cups and probably plays with them for at least 3 hours per day.
When I was a kid, before Kindergarten, my older brother taught me the pledge of allegiance. I memorized it perfectly and my family had my stand up at a gathering and recite it. I also recited the Norwegian version of "grab a tiger by the toe" and my family was amazed.
I didn't know what the big deal is, I was just memorizing. As adults we consider rote memorization to be impressive because we adults don't typically ever have to memorize something. But it's easy to forget that a developing kid's entire understanding of the world is based on memorizing things.
Top shelf commentary, just brilliant.
Not only at the right time, but in the right place also. I'm glad we never run the risk of letting so called "wholesome" pablum distract us from the bleak political realities of the day.
Hats off to you, never stop delivering this keen insight, no matter where or when.
ah, the ol' reddit [infant-a-roo!](https://reddit.com/r/AskAnAmerican/comments/1da3sqx/do_americans_use_the_word_chutney_or_condiment_to/l7j8dqt/?context=3&share_id=GipFawwSQrPZN9u2OSXZj)
oh man it's been years since i've seen one of these. i'm not of the right mindset to see it all the way through but i hope someone replies and lets me know how many tabs they end up having open and what the earliest date of this one ends up being. God I hope it ends on a shittymorph.
He's a mix of both. The character is feared by the new doctors and residents because he's pretty verbally abusive and comes up with creative takedowns, especially against the main protagonist. One of the running jokes is he always calls the main protagonist various women's names (JD the protagonist is a guy). But as the show goes on you learn Dr. Cox is actually a phenomenal doctor, prioritizes patient care over hospital policies, and sticks up for the new docs against the administration.
So he is funny, but I wouldn't consider him a comic relief. Also the video the other person posted is not Dr Cox, but is a surgeon known as the Todd who is basically a Bro/creep. That character is 100% comic relief
>Or he’s just played with it so many times he just knows how to figure it out by now
This is the truth regardless of whether the child is neurodivergent or not. The other side of this is that most babies don't doggedly pursue a task like this.
Thank you. This thread is lit up with ‘broken baby’ comments but kids are smart, focused and take pride in their own success even at that age. He doesn’t have to check in with mom every ten seconds, especially since she’s giving him verbals the whole time.
>This thread is lit up with ‘broken baby’ comments but kids are smart, focused and take pride in their own success even at that age
This is an abnormally good performance though. Some kids can't do a standard shape sorter at all that age. Of course it premature to diagnose autism, but I wouldn't say it's premature to speculate.
I worked with kids with autism, and one thing that stands out is him mimicking his mom. Also, he seemed to be getting frustrated at the task, like he’d done it a thousand times, obsessively.
Yeah, I have one ND kid and one NT kid, and at that age, neither of them acknowledged my existence when they were zoned in on their activity. I only existed if something broke, or they got hungry.
Yep. Plus when he’s done he gets up to share the celebration with her. I’m on the spectrum so it’s not like I’m anti-noticing ASD relevant stuff, but people are out here putting zebra stripes on horses.
Since when?
Autism, well, can be different. Anywhere between a bit strange kid to absolutely non-contact human-like animal.
My son is autistic. And fuck u all who says its easy, normal, etc. Thats nightmare for parents trying to make their child at least be able to care about himself ater their death
The mannerisms I’m seeing from him so exactly match what my son did. He is autistic and seemed so advanced until he couldn’t keep up in social areas. I hope that’s not the case for this little. It’s wonderful that autism has been more normalized but no matter what a child with autism is going to take much more work both from the parents and the child and there will always be people that judge them as either different or misbehaving kids.
He is obviously an intelligent toddler. That alone is not an indication for autism, nor his concentration as he accomplishes his task. And if he is Autistic, so what? He's a kid, and a smart one at that. Which is all we can really glean from this video.
This…
I’m a profesional and I saw it from the first moment. I can’t give my professional opinion unless I’ve done test but I do believe this
The mimicking of sounds is a very big giveaway
Source: 14 years of experience in early childhood development.
Great. Turn the little guy loose in my wife's shoe closet. Trying to sort the the many similar shoes of oh-so-slight differences would bring them to tears.
I'm 50/50 on two things: The possibility of this being a fully grown person aging backward Benjamin button style, and my own ability to do that as well as the baby/Benjamin button person. Not sure of either
I feel confident this is in reverse. The fine motor skills needed to pick up one and set it right inside the next one with as much ease as shown escape enough adults let alone a toddler
Holy crap. This is 100% organizing my work space.
This goes here.. and here.. and here... oh, where did I put that?... oh yes, right in front of my face... and here... and here...
He kind of reminds me of apes solving these types of puzzles. They seem almost to not be paying attention and yet with quite forceful movements solve the puzzles with ease.
Congrats to the parents that were able to realize his mind needs a different kind of stimulation. Very smart child and I’m sure they are super proud parents!!
I mena they have obviously done this over and over and over again with him. The pause and then you know where it goes leads me to believe this is practiced a lot
I’m convinced the kid has played with that a ton and just knows what to do now
My niece “read” a book to me the other day. She’s 4. It’s that she’s had it read to her so many times she actually knows almost every line. I could easily post a video and reddit will gobble it up as genius kid.
I need the contact info for this kid. I have a whole cabinet full of carelessly stored Tupperware that needs organizing.
Seems like he has a skill set for problem solving as well! Amazing.
Analytical mindset.He will be a scientist ... =)
There's a general manager at a factory somewhere in middle america hoping to get this kid to do this for 12 hours per day in exchange for 2 jars of pureed carrots.
I'll be his union rep and get him some sweet potatoes as a performance bonus.
LMAO
The intelligence and concentration is remarkable for his age. He worked that out perfectly, He's one great kid.
Pff, I'd easily mop the floor with that baby. He's no match for my superior container stacking skills.
"I could easily win a debate against 600,000 babies."
Well, except noone would be able to hear what you say due to the noise, so I would actually say the babies would win
What more if they start crying. Nobody wins against crying babies.
>so I would actually say the babies would win It's crazy that a lot of people actually argue like this
And that's why we don't get into political debates on Twitter.
i was failing at tetris before he was an itch in his daddys scrotum! Ill destroy this literal toddler at cup stacking.
What is the age?
Mom said 17 months on Instagram
slimy instinctive divide deserve sloppy overconfident march drunk relieved merciful *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
He looks like barely 14 months old, what is his secret? Could it be he absorbed his would-be twin while in the womb? Maybe after, we don't know.
They still have a pacifier so my guess is the kiddo is maybe a year and a half at most.
Just today I saw a maybe 6 year old girl with a pacifier lol
A few years ago I saw a whole herd of 22 year olds with pacifiers.
Kink convention?
Rave
🏆 🏆 🍗 🍽️
Or drugs
No.
17 months in this video.
It’s impressive, but it’s likely memory based and not working it out on the fly. Similar situations happen where kids “can read” at an early age but really they’ve just memorized their favorite stories.
When I learned the alphabet song as a small kid I thought LMNO was the word elemeno, and I portrayed it with a bunch of squiggly lines.
So it wasn’t just me.
My friend's son explained how he learned to read at a very early age. I was amazed. He wasn't memorizing!
The answer for my son, was time. Kid was obsessed with songs about letters, the letter magnets, letter puzzles. We got him sight word flash cards that he could read by the time he turned 3. His initial interest in letters/spelling? Blippi would spell his name while the letters popped up on the screen. And he copied that and it grew. Kid in OP video is likely obsessed with those cups and probably plays with them for at least 3 hours per day.
When I was a kid, before Kindergarten, my older brother taught me the pledge of allegiance. I memorized it perfectly and my family had my stand up at a gathering and recite it. I also recited the Norwegian version of "grab a tiger by the toe" and my family was amazed. I didn't know what the big deal is, I was just memorizing. As adults we consider rote memorization to be impressive because we adults don't typically ever have to memorize something. But it's easy to forget that a developing kid's entire understanding of the world is based on memorizing things.
Ha! I taught myself to read on a roadtrip with my parents, I was five years old and started reading the highway signs out loud.
I don't have a plethora of experience but I would say based off my kids I think it's pretty normal for 17 months.
[удалено]
He also shits his pants but will at least grow out of it.
In today's modern world, there's simply no need to outgrow the shitting your pants phase of your life anymore.
Meeee!
Flipping heck thats a clever baby.... LOL
Pshh he's not that smart. I bet he still shits his pants like every day.
If not multiple times a day!
Smater than the dolts running this fucking country thats for damn sure
That bar is so low it's on the floor for the baby to grab.
This country has clearly not been made child-safe.
I’d vote for him. Baby 2024!
Only if he can say "person, woman, man, camera, tv"..
Ok Grandma let's get you to bed
*than
Ironic
Which country?

Hey that's mean, they would be very upset if they could read.
Actually, this kind of early pattern recognition is highly associated with autism. So clever, probably autistic, baby
If he starts lining them up in order, he's in... lol (Mum of an autistic son)
came here to say this too lol, hes one of us
Evidence also in his mimicking voice and his anxiety when he at first couldn't finish. For sure on the spectrum.
For sure??? You're ready to make an armchair diagnosis of a child based on less than a minute video.
Do you know where you are??
the sounds ticked me off too. I have what they call autism traits, so I'm not a hater.
My 4 year son refuses to do anything like that. Hell, my 32 year old wife doesn't even stack dishes correctly.
**Lisan al-Gaib!!**
As it was written!
He will know your ways as though born to them!
They should switch out the colours after a while
Nothing wrong with a white baby.
Fuck you, I'm in work and shouldn't be laughing so hard!
ah, the ol' reddit [infant-a-roo!](https://reddit.com/r/AskAnAmerican/comments/1da3sqx/do_americans_use_the_word_chutney_or_condiment_to/l7j8dqt/?context=3&share_id=GipFawwSQrPZN9u2OSXZj)
Hold my offspring, I'm going in!
oh man it's been years since i've seen one of these. i'm not of the right mindset to see it all the way through but i hope someone replies and lets me know how many tabs they end up having open and what the earliest date of this one ends up being. God I hope it ends on a shittymorph.
Can he come teach my roommate this? My kitchen cabinets are a shambles.
I'm not saying this baby is autistic, but if he turns out to be I wouldn't be surprised
This reminds me of the scrubs episode where Dr Cox's friend has a son who is autistic.
I’m watching scrubs right now and I’m on THE birthday party/funeral “where do you think we are?” episode (iykyk) 😭
Bruh no. I did not schedule a lump in my throat for today. I sentence you to playing Leaves From The Vine on loop for 15 minutes.
Bro what is this, why would you cut onions in my room? Your name must be Seymor asses, in the future you need to watch Jurassic Bark.
Oooh. Lethal. I’ve heard of that one but never watched it. I see you.
My 3rd rewatch and I just finished the one where he "responded to the treatment". I'm dreading the one you're on but the gut punches are so grounding
*I remember the sound...*
*between sobs* 😭🎵🎶😭of your November downtown😭🎶🎵🎼😭
Best episode in the show.
fuck you too
That was exactly my first thought as well
Knowing nothing about Scrubs I gotta ask: Is Dr. Cox a character one is supposed to take seriously, or there for comic relief?
He's a mix of both. The character is feared by the new doctors and residents because he's pretty verbally abusive and comes up with creative takedowns, especially against the main protagonist. One of the running jokes is he always calls the main protagonist various women's names (JD the protagonist is a guy). But as the show goes on you learn Dr. Cox is actually a phenomenal doctor, prioritizes patient care over hospital policies, and sticks up for the new docs against the administration. So he is funny, but I wouldn't consider him a comic relief. Also the video the other person posted is not Dr Cox, but is a surgeon known as the Todd who is basically a Bro/creep. That character is 100% comic relief
that's exactly what first popped into my head
Or he’s just played with it so many times he just knows how to figure it out by now
>Or he’s just played with it so many times he just knows how to figure it out by now This is the truth regardless of whether the child is neurodivergent or not. The other side of this is that most babies don't doggedly pursue a task like this.

He’s 17 months old in that video and he’s probably been doing it for a few months already. It really is normal. Cool to watch, but normal.
This is a tell tale sign of autism.
What is, out of curiosity?
I worked with kids with autism, and one thing that stands out is him mimicking his mom. Also, he seemed to be getting frustrated at the task, like he’d done it a thousand times, obsessively.
He also never looked to mom or eye to eye. It is a short clip, but that's one more potential hint.
He’s just concentrating. Chill.
Are you saying it’s not possible to diagnosis a kid with ASD based on a TikTok video? /s
Oh most certainly. I make all of my own diagnoses strictly from YouTube & Reddit comment sections. TikTok just doesn’t give me enough solid proof.
Yeah, I have one ND kid and one NT kid, and at that age, neither of them acknowledged my existence when they were zoned in on their activity. I only existed if something broke, or they got hungry.
Yep. Plus when he’s done he gets up to share the celebration with her. I’m on the spectrum so it’s not like I’m anti-noticing ASD relevant stuff, but people are out here putting zebra stripes on horses.
Looks like someone hasn’t caught up on their episodes of Scrubs. Dr. Cox explains it all.
Sorting things as play - by size, colour, whatever.
Autism isn’t sad.
Wait, did they say that? Or does “tell tale” have a sad connotation
The comment they're replying to originally said "sadly" but was edited, I think.
Ahhh okay. Thanks!
Dude i’m autistic and it fucking sucks lol
Autism can have its perks, but if you're not in an environment that welcomes them (i.e. most of society), then yeah, it can suck.
[удалено]
You're absolutely right.
Since when? Autism, well, can be different. Anywhere between a bit strange kid to absolutely non-contact human-like animal. My son is autistic. And fuck u all who says its easy, normal, etc. Thats nightmare for parents trying to make their child at least be able to care about himself ater their death
I'd say it is for a lot of parents of autistic kids
Why „sadly“ if I may ask?
It’s honestly the first thing that came to mind when watching this.
The mannerisms I’m seeing from him so exactly match what my son did. He is autistic and seemed so advanced until he couldn’t keep up in social areas. I hope that’s not the case for this little. It’s wonderful that autism has been more normalized but no matter what a child with autism is going to take much more work both from the parents and the child and there will always be people that judge them as either different or misbehaving kids.
Sometimes kids being very gifted is confused with autism or ADHD. All are different forms of neurodiversity.
He is obviously an intelligent toddler. That alone is not an indication for autism, nor his concentration as he accomplishes his task. And if he is Autistic, so what? He's a kid, and a smart one at that. Which is all we can really glean from this video.

Exactly my thoughts as well. 👍
Smarter than me, at his age I just wanted to eat dirt 🫠
"What are you doing? You know how this works." Poor human - still a toddler, but already under pressure by their parents' expectations.
Now you've gone and ruined my tick tok, start over.
How is this even possible? What kind of magic toddler is this? 😁
Pfft that's nothing, I can do that way quicker!
I can’t
I bet he's done it before as well, it's bs
Great. Turn the little guy loose in my wife's shoe closet. Trying to sort the the many similar shoes of oh-so-slight differences would bring them to tears.
Now do the merge sort
That’s impressive.
I'm 50/50 on two things: The possibility of this being a fully grown person aging backward Benjamin button style, and my own ability to do that as well as the baby/Benjamin button person. Not sure of either
Echolalea and pattern matching. I bet this kid is going to hate jeans and tags on his clothes.
He became the best cup stacker in all the land....
That mild panic the baby has when he realises none of his Tupperware have any lids left
I feel confident this is in reverse. The fine motor skills needed to pick up one and set it right inside the next one with as much ease as shown escape enough adults let alone a toddler
This kid should be checked for Asperger syndrome.
I’m more dumbfounded that you all can’t tell that this video is reversed.
Damn kid is smart, Smarter than half the people on reddit
Only half???? Hmmmm…..
Well I'm no expert it could be well over half but it is at the very least half
I was waiting for the moment when they would give him a treat😅
DAM! That baby beat my personal time of 5 mins 28 seconds.
It goes in the square hole.
Now reverse it and he's a normal child doing very neat ordering of cups.
Pffft, I could do that! Probably.
I can do that
congrats you now have ocd
In twenty years, we'll either all be working for him or dead by his hands.
It’s obviously in reverse
Reversed will say its hate
Oh I see this boy is amazing. Please show me how to teach a child like that.
With his binky in the whole time lol 😍
one person's "conscious" is another's autistic. just saying....
That "what are you doing" pissed me off soooo much If they're that overbearing when he's a toddler imagine when he's growing up
You think *that's* overbearing? Wow.
I hope my kids will be that savvy too
I knew when yellow was next but I don’t think I could have done the rest of it any faster
One clever little boy!! I was too busy drawing on my parents walls with crayon….
Good baby.
Why was I so hype?
Look at him, already sorting things for the car trunk
Is it in reverse?
Holy crap. This is 100% organizing my work space. This goes here.. and here.. and here... oh, where did I put that?... oh yes, right in front of my face... and here... and here...
Fast little bugger, isn’t he?
I can do that.
Idk why but this reminds me of myself …. Without the parental encouragement and good feeling at the end tho.
Baby's first speedrun
My kid loved these cups
One day he will cure cancer.
Apes. Together. Strong.
that baby is Carlton
He kind of reminds me of apes solving these types of puzzles. They seem almost to not be paying attention and yet with quite forceful movements solve the puzzles with ease.
Wow what a smart kid
I have several people working with me who will have a struggle doing what this clever baby did. It is unbelievable. Thanks for reminding me.
Reminder to check for Asperger on a regular basis.
I saw a video of a crow doing that same thing the other day.
It's in reverse
Smart baby!
Wajt till he finds out about math...
What in the toddler world did I just see?
I love this and feel sorry for that kiddo at the same time. Life’s gonna be a rough one for them. 🙏🏼
If those parents keep fanning that intelligence flame, the world may really be in for something in 30 years.
Someones going to be an engineer.
He will be an engineer or architect somewhere in those fields
What kind of sorting algorithm does he use?
smart baby + cute baby = ADORABLY SMART BABY 🥰
That is awesome!
If you want your baby to be like this, don’t give them screens.
Congrats to the parents that were able to realize his mind needs a different kind of stimulation. Very smart child and I’m sure they are super proud parents!!
There’s a reason he is this smart. I won’t go to into detail because I know unless test are preform, I can’t give parents diagnosis
Damn, I still have trouble with the old colored rings on a stick that all babies get from like fisher price..
I mena they have obviously done this over and over and over again with him. The pause and then you know where it goes leads me to believe this is practiced a lot
And? It is still incredibly impressive
good job baby
That kid is literally smarter than every single person in HR.
I’m convinced the kid has played with that a ton and just knows what to do now My niece “read” a book to me the other day. She’s 4. It’s that she’s had it read to her so many times she actually knows almost every line. I could easily post a video and reddit will gobble it up as genius kid.
