I think she might have autism (the high intelligent kind, formerly known as Aspergers). I'm an aspie myself and something echoos hard. Or it could be she's been forced to think too much about social interactions at such a young age, just like aspies do. Either way she may be helped by some of the tools and approaches that work for us aspies :)

I was. I later found out I have autism and just had to think a lot about friendships and social interactions pre-teens, just like Ruby. It doesn't help her social including, the intelligence. With me social interaction just didn't come natural, because of the autism. With Ruby it's because of how people treat her because of how she looks and probably her diverse daily energy level. Such a pity a good heart or a good brain doesn't help with this. What does help is finding friends over a common interest and also communicating over the internet, where your brain can shine and you can take your time to reply. I find lots of humour on the internet :) I hope Ruby does too.

One of the most tragic aspects of this story is that because of people's attitudes, this beautiful and intelligent young lady has no idea just how amazing and special she is. Ruby is already an incredible person, and she is going to grow up to be an exceptional adult. Even back when I was her age, I would have gladly been friends with her. And not just because she might be "special" or "different", but because she is an awesome person.

Thinking that intellectually she has so many problems when really she's so so intelligent and has such Ducks. I think that kids her age might struggle to relate to her because she's ahead of them not behind I think they're misconstruing this by never giving her a chance and bothers me. I think it's really heartbreaking that so many of these kids bear their emotions and their souls in this interview and they feel like that it is really Brave to come forward and talk about it

Nothing average at all. All extraordinary.

Ruby, I know when people judge you for your differences it hurts, but honestly, though no one ever wants to feel that pain, everybody does... for one reason or another. I got picked on because of my name, because I was a bit chubby, kind of quiet, and even because I was smart... some kids are just so insecure they have to bring others down to boost their sad little egos. I had a classmate who was physically beautiful but insecure and unfriendly, so had no real friends. I understand for you it may not feel this way but it isn't just what you look like, it's who you are that will make worthy friends. Your family is right, love yourself for who you are and don't worry about pleasing everybody or your differences ...the people who are worth your time will appreciate you for who you are, not just what your surface is! I just wanted to tell you if I wasn't old enough to be your grandmother I would love to be your friend! When we're young we want to be the clone of our peers, but when we are older, it's our differences that are so beautiful, and you certainly are, I think you are adorable and bright, and you should too!

Ruby, I thimk you are very beautiful to look at. Your skin is lovely, your eyebrows are perfectly shaped, your hairline around your forehead is very flattering and your eyes are pretty. You are a natural beauty with dark rosy lips and your cheeks have a rosy glow that no make-up could create. I know that these things aren't supposed to be important but I want to tell you them anyway. I was very self conscious about my appearance when I was growing up. I focussed entirely on my differences and flaws. It was only when I was thirty years old that I learnt to love and appreciate the beauty within my appearance. Darling girl, you have so much beauty. Not only on the outside , but inside too. You, as a twelve year old, have more wisdom than I will ever be able to aspire to. I pray God's richest blessings for you and your wonderful mum, dad, brother and grandmother.

Blown away by her intelligence particularly emotional intelligence. She possesses an awareness and an eloquence that most do not, even if they’re “normal” and she is not. She may look different, she may be different, but she is beautiful. I think it’s also worth noting that even a lot of “normal” folks feel the same way she does. It’s perfectly normal to feel insecure, especially as a teenager (especially now a days with the illusory perception of beauty caused by social media and digital editing). Ruby is stronger and more beautiful than they will ever be.

Ruby has such a great head on her shoulders. We shouldn’t see past our differences, we can acknowledge them but we shouldn’t be excluded for our physical differences. She asked a LOT of great questions. I’d think she would make a great journalist. Edit: as I wrote this as I was watching. Some of what Ruby has I also have, including agenesis of the corpus callosum and a lipoma. I don’t have muscle on my left upper face so my left eye doesn’t really open, I use my cheek to open and close that eye.

I really love how Ruby just turned the interview around at one point and just started interviewing Chris. And her questions are really good, well phrased and thought out. Like I am amazed because shes just 12 years old and has a real talent for asking great questions. And I don't mean like the questions in an everyday conversations, but questions in these kind of interview settings, that make the other person give great answers. Like I think she could be a great journalists at one point. I studied Journalism so when I listen to interviews I always pay attention to the way they ask questions, and I think being able to ask great questions is a real talent and not something everybody can do. So if you read this at some point Ruby, I think you could become like a really great journalist one day.

Ruby seems such a well-spoken, intelligent, mature and wise young lady. It is clear she has a lot to give to the world and I have no doubt she will find people who truly listen to her and truly understand her. I wish her all the best.
