So do you think this means thatTammet has never been able to work 9 to 5. It would be too difficult to fit around his daily routine. For instance, he has to drink his cups of tea at exactly the same time every day. Things have to happen in the same order: he always brushes his teeth before he has his shower. "I have tried to be more flexible, but I always end up feeling more uncomfortable. Retaining a sense of control is really important. I like to do things in my own time, and in my own style, so an office with targets and bureaucracy just wouldn't work."
check here. he tried himself not people encourage him.
If a person encourage himself, people cannot encourage him?
Because the question was about PEOPLE ENCOURAGE HIM...
And there was nothing about people encourage... (as per my knowledge)
What are your opinion?
