In high school, Jeoffrey struggled quite a bit as(unknown to him at the time) he was actually a high-functioning-autistic child. He likes to say that high functioning autism or Asperger's Syndrome, incited his very good verbal skills. But, he criticises his country's educational system, as "there are probably children who are supposed to be in Special Education; studying in regular schools and being made to feel like they're dumb or not good enough, when this in fact not the case."
