How does one deal with being a genius?

genius
JB Vinci asked:


I’ve got ADD/ADHD and have learned to mix it with my creative juices. I have an unrelenting curiosity and I naturally learn things. I also cannot remember anything, consequently killing my grades throughout school. People think I’m an idiot, however I’ve been sitting on hundreds of ground-breaking ideas. I can come up with unique ideas for anything. I’ve got a problem though. No one knows who I am, and nearly everybody thinks I’m a dumbass, even my own parents. I keep to myself for the most part, and have only recently revealed a couple of ideas to friends, who were amazed. I am at a transition point similiar to Einsteins, as people thought he was mentally retarded. I do not know where to go from here, and without the support of my parents I feel like taking a hammer to my head. I am usually very humble about my talents, however I need some guidance from someone. — P.S. Sorry about not using the ‘genius lingo’.
and to distinguish myself from those who make similiar fake claims, here is a breif description of my talents: My creativity ranges from music to perfecting the act of shooting a basketball. I’ve recieved recognition for my artwork, photography, etching, as well as graphic design work. I have begun to write movie scripts, as well as my first novel. I study philosophy, and have explored a few undiscovered realms. I’ve invented a new form of government (actually it would be an updated form of democracy) that would revitalize American politics, the best plan for ‘world peace’ possible (although politicians today would be unwilling), and created the future of the internet and computers (currently in the works). Since I have just recently learned of my potential, all of this, and a ton more, has been done within a year. I do not wish to have to prove myself, however, I feel people will laugh when they initially read the question.
