'I'm high class. I don't even want to work'.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, sir, but you are NOT. High class people do not exist, we are all equal.

The French of the 18th century and the Russians of 1917 had the right idea on how to deal with people like you.

"but being an intelligent person surrounded by dumb poorly educated people can be pretty insufferable at times (Andalusians are the worst, WTF is wrong with them?). I think you all can relate to what I mean. We Aspies are geniuses compared to these idiots, which is why I feel a lot of resentment and hatred towards them in the inside."

Dunning and Kruger would have a field day.

I absolutely cannot relate.

What is your first name?
You can call me GMU or Unicorn.

Age:
17

Location:
New Zealand

Hobbies and Interests:
Anything science (with a special place for Biology, more specifically genetics). But I also enjoy reading, creepily observing people's habits, Sims 3, arguing, Latin, and many other things that randomly catch my interest.

When were you diagnosed?
I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was 9.

Favorite subjects:
Biology, but I also like English, philosophy, and Latin. Unless you mean school subjects, in which case that's a trick question. I dislike the diluted and warped school-versions of good areas of knowledge.

Year/Grade:
Y12 doing two higher levels (Y13 and First Year Uni, because why not)

Favorite music:
Taylor Swift, Twenty-one Pilots are okay, Weird Al Yankovic, Max Repka, various other artists too numerous to mention, various bits of music from pretty much every genre.

Books:
That is an awful question. I could never choose a favourite from so many! However, a sample: All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven, anything from Cornelia Funke, Harry Potter series, Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom, most old fairytales, the Twilight Series, Alex As Well by Alyssa Brugman, Anne of Green Gable until Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery, Silas Marner by George Eliot...

TV shows:
Lucifer, Mom, Dr Who, Warehouse 13, This Is Us, Sunnyside Up, Girls Vs Boys, Gilmore Girls, Bunheads, The Mysteries of Laura, Holly's Heroes, Orphan Black, a few more I'm sure I've forgotten.

Movies:
Intouchables, Blindside, Inside Out, Shrek and sequels, Frozen, Finding Nemo, Patch Adams, Lucy, Transcendent, Lone Ranger. I'm sure I've missed many on this list too.

Do you like sports?
Only if Orc Ball counts. I'm not very good though! Foam swords are actually really heavy...

Family:
Mum, younger sister, cat, two rats.

Clothing:
Sneakers with soft jeans and nice-feeling t-shirt (or sometimes shirts with buttons and puffed sleeves, only because they look really good), but I often wish my sensory issues would let me wear dresses.

Plans for the future?
University in 2018, studying a BSc double majoring in Biology and Psych. I want to become a geneticist, but my back-up plan is Psychologist specialising in Autism.
