When Mental Problems are an Advantage

I am thinking of a boy was adopted because his parents were not having any children of their own. After they adopted him, they had children, no problem!
He developed severe mental problems. He joined the Marine Corp and served for four years with no problems. He had no Mental problems there. But he did not like being there.

When he got out his problems appeared again. He got married and worked as a smokejumper for the Forest service. He had no problems doing this.

But this was not acceptable to his inlaws, who were high up in the Forest Service. They got him a desk job, for which he was completely unqualified. But he was promoted, twice!

He became a tweeter, tweeted frequently, always displaying his problems for all to see. Much like Trump, also a frequent tweeter.

He was promoted again!
