Is Anyone Here 100% Or Close To 100% Autistic?

It must be hard for those who want to socially interact but social difficulties hamper their ability to do so successfully .

@EzraS I'm a 141 according to http://www.free-iqtest.net/score/4DA9/ , but I think I am higher still. This site also uses a timer, but lt does not count down. Still, I think lt affected My score. I know I am superior to most people, because of the following facts:

Intelligence
Not to be confused with knowledge. Intelligence is the ability to know something without learning lt. For example, I used diotamaceous earth to kill bed bugs. I know that lt dries out their shells. Recently, I came up with the idea to use diotamaceous earth on the mildew in My shoes & on My acne. Since I know that lt has the property of absorption, I deduced that lt would kill anything which requires water to survive, which is everything. The plan worked, despite the fact that I never learned that diotamaceous earth can kill mildew & acne. I taught Myself.

Self-awareness
I have always been fascinated with the fact that I am alive. I am in full control & possess independent autonomy. I know My strengths & weaknesses. I know why I do what I do. If I make an error, I analyze My action to see what went wrong & correct for lt. I can imagine what other people think of Me & how My decisions affect them. I once forgot a birthday due to business. I realized My error the next day without having to be told, so I apologized & decided to take steps to prevent this mishap from reoccurring. NT's regularly forget birthdays & will usually forget them permanently, unless the topic comes up. Even lf they do apologize, lt will not be sincere, as they will not take steps to ensure the problem does not reoccur, since they lack the self-awareness to make alterrations to themselves.

Long-term memory
My short-term memory is abysmal, but My long-term memory is incredible. I can remember events from when I was a baby. I have pseudo-memories of being a fetus (fortunately, I don't remember being born). I can recall things that I learned when I was young. I recall all sorts of meaningful information, such as the exact day that I became friends with someone or when I received a gift that I really appreciate. This has enabled Me to examine Myself across decades, to detect what needs improvement & what I excel at. It has also enabled Me to stay true to Myself.

Pattern detection
I have an excellent talent for detecting patterns. I learned that My mother is a sociopath by examining her behavior over the decades, detecting the patterns & cross-referencing the patterns with other people. When I was a kid, I was convinced that she's bipolar. But then I did some cross-referencing & realized that the symptoms do not add up. Then I realized how similar the pattern is to that of a sociopath. I did some cross-referencing & realized that the data adds up. I have even spoken to an actual therapist, who said that My findings are accurate.

Knowledge
Even at 12, I claimed to know more than everyone else. Imagine how much I have learned since then. For almost any individual topic, I can be outdone, but in terms of the sheer amount of subjects that I am well-versed in, I am unmatched. I consistently surprise Myself with My immense trivia knowledge. I have managed to correctly answer many questions about sports, which I don't know anything about, as I don't watch them. I can hold a conversation in just about any field: language, law, science, history, mathematics, media, philosophy, health, etc. I have almost never studied for any test & always get an A. I also know many things that very few people know about. Like, did you know that Pong is not even close to being the first videogame? Missile Simulator, from 1946, is the first videogame. A couple of people might know that, but I've yet to see anyone who knows about the early videogame attempt from 1918, where people would shoot at a movie screen at a drive-in, while someone warped the footage to make lt appear that they actually shot the onscreen targets. At eight years old, I challenged everyone to find a question that I didn't know the answer to. I was able to answer every question correctly, which they verified.

Compassion
The real reason why I know I am superior is My deep compassion. None of those other things make a difference without compassion because only compassion can heal an ill world. I've already discussed this in an earlier post, but I'll go a bit further. Every single day, I drive to & from college, which takes between thirty minutes & one hour one way. Every single time, I let dozens of cars ahead of Me. If I see someone in another lane with their blinker on, I will slow down to let them change lanes, something that I have noticed nobody else does. If someone perpendicular to Me wants to turn, I almost always slow down to let them through. When someone asks Me for a favor, even someone I hate (usually), I will do lt right away. I often give money directly to the homeless. If I see someone struggling, I offer to help. A screen fell out of someones pick-up truck while I was driving behind them once. I pulled over & ran to get the screen before lt got run over & brought lt back to the guy. A similar thing happened when I was biking & a shelf fell out of the back of a ladys minivan, so I helped her put lt back in. I once drove a lady to the place where she was trying to find a job, because she was lost & having a bad day. If someone drops anything, even money, I return lt to them, even lf they didn't know they dropped anything. I never discriminate, I never ignore, I'm not judgemental. I'm trustworthy, respectful, polite, generous. The list goes on & on. If there is only one thing that I am good at, lt is compassion. I have never found anyone as nice as Me, except for My grandma, who was way too' good for this world.

Fun
What good is all of that lf you're a bore to be around? Well, I am very fun & adventurous, up for anything. I take interest in other peoples interests & understand the value of sharing. It cannot always be about what I want to do. I've never had anyone tell Me I'm boring. Most people say that I am fun to be around & funny as well.

Comprehension
I have an innate understanding of how systems work & My OCD ensures that I do things properly. I understand the rules of friendship & honor them, which is why I never abandon anyone. Plus, I know how lt feels & nobody should have to feel that way. I would always partake in My friends' interests, as a good friend would. Despite this, they almost never reciprocated. I have a better understanding of systems & concepts than most.

Creativity
I have a nack for creating things. As a kid, I made a city in My room out of wood planks & carpentry tools. There were roads, seas, railways, even a cable car. I've written many stories, even technically published a book (self-published, sold two copies. I no longer have lt, unfortunately). I've filmed shows & cartoons, made movie trailers. I can write, record, edit & act. I've made music: composing, deejaying & rapping. I've had a few people compare Me to Eminem. I can solve problems using onhand material. I built a custom carrier bar so that My bicycle can carry groceries. I have undertaken just about every creative project & there are many more to come. I usually excel at these projects.

Logic
Everything I do must make sense. As a kid, I found playing with others difficult, as they would cheat physics out of self-preservation, while I would adhere to realistic physics. If we're playing a game & they are taking control of a car that is driving off of a cliff, they would not calculate the proper trajectory. They would adjust the car in mid-air to make the car land on the other side, because they think emotionally. This isn't fair though, because I would adhere to proper physics & die, while they survive by cheating. For most games I would play, I would have everyone randomize, so as to avoid giving anyone an advantage over another. But they didn't always like this, because they wanted to make emotional choices. Their prime directive was to have fun, while Mine was to make sure EVERYONE has fun. Despite this, neurotypicals still wrongly believe that being autistic is a disorder. I do not defy My own principles as I am not a hypocrite. If everyone based most decisions on logic, the world would be a much better place.

I haven't even scratched the surface, but hopefully this will suffice.

@EzraS Post 1| That does seem autistic. I'm thinking that you are autistic, but due to certain issues, have concluded that you have a disability. That's like lf I said My autism is a disorder, because I have A.D.D.. A.D.D. is separate & is actually a coping mechanism for negative stimuli caused by neurotypical abuse of autists. In a purely autistic world, ADD would not exist. Nobody is born with ADD, as lt is impossible to be born with a disorder. But people are born autistic, which goes to show that lt is not a disorder.

Those things can be problematic, but they are not exclusive to autism. I have no trouble with spacial concentration & I am far too' paranoid to ever let Myself get run over. The only thing that autism, 'does', is change the way that you see the world. It's about asking, 'Why is this?', instead of, 'How does this make me feel?'. ADD, ADHD, OCD, Tourette's Syndrome & other such disorders are not exclusive to autism. They are coping mechanisms for dealing with immense stress pressure caused by neurotypical abuse. As someone with a near-complete recollection of My life, I can tell you when & how these disorders developped. OCD manifested pretty early on, when I was 0. It is not a disorder for Me & I couldn't live without lt. ADD & ADHD came pretty close together when I was 3. My moms sociopathy was starting to show. ADD is the method My mind developped to remove Myself from a harmful situation. ADHD is essentially a different form of anxiety. My mind would kick into overdrive in an effort to resolve the harmful situation. Tourette's Syndrome came much later, when I was 11. It's essentially My mind deteriorating from abuse. People think that autism is a disorder, because autistic people tend to have actual disorders, as a result of being bullied for being autistic. Remove Me from My toxic environment & I will function like Chuck Norris.

I'd be happy to check lt out, but there is no link.

@Firemonkey Exactly. Motor speed should not have an effect on IQ. Nice one.

I'm diagnosed as an aspie, I don't know what more to prove.

@EzraS Post 2| That is true, but that is also neurotypical priviledge. That's like saying, 'We rule the world, so we don't have to fact-check. If we say lt, then lt must be true.'. I could just as easily parrot information that other autists commonly believe. Just because something is common information does not make lt true. Misinformation is spread all of the time & becomes common knowledge. We're still spreading misinformation that Christopher Columbus discoverred North America. It's something that everyone knows, yet lt is false information. Autists can also fall for propaganda like anyone else. The less something is questioned, the more lt SHOULD be questioned. That which is accepted without question is truly dangerous because lf lt is wrong, noone will ever know. It makes the world a worse place.

I do know more than the established knowledge & I will give you three good reasons why that is:

1. I AM autistic. These scientists are usually neurotypical & biased as a result.
2. I am much smarter than they are. I am adept at detecting & correcting misinformation.
3. Established information is built on false foundations all of the time. NT's automatically think that something they hear on the news is true without question, as lf humanity isn't built on lies. There can be hundreds of sources corroborating an idea & lt can still not be true. One must question everything in this world to survive. Never buy something unless you are sure without a doubt that lt is true. Always do your research & challenge any plot holes.

@EzraS In My experience, I have been superior to everyone thus far, but realistically lt is more like most. Probability dictates that I simply have yet to meet someone better.

I just said the first thing that came to mind, the most recent instance of using intellect to solve a problem. Yes, there are people who are smart. But how many of them are also adept at the other things I have listed. It is not any one thing that makes Me great, lt is the combination of all of My talents.

I'm just listing off reasons why I am great. I'm not necessarily arguing why autists are superior to neurotypicals. I am a unique case, in that not all of My talents can be attributed to autism. Again, not My best example, but nothing else was coming to mind. The point is that, albeit rare, I can & will realize & admit to being wrong. This is an extremely valuable trait that most people lack. And I will learn from mistakes, so as never to repeat them, also quite valuable.

I wouldn't say lots of people do, though I'm certainly not the only one. I find lt is extremely rare for someone to remember infancy. I can recall My past with greater accuracy than My own mother. I've had family tell Me that My uncanny memory should be impossible. But I have recalled an event from when I was 2 before seeing the photograph of lt. So I think that you are underselling this amazing talent out of pure pessimism.

Again, I would not say lots. And again, while there are other people with excellent pattern detection skill, they almost certainly would not be able to simultaneously excel in all of the other areas I have listed. It's like saying that Superman isn't impressive, because some birds can fly, some people can punch really hard & some people can run really fast. Yes, but who other than Superman can excel at all of these things TOGETHER?

Once again, you're underselling the ability. I'm not just a walking encyclopedia. I'm a walking encyclopedia of lost knowledge as well. What was common knowledge in the 5'th Century is lost today. How many people know that the chinese invented the first automobile in 548 & that lt ran on wind power? Probably just some extreme historians & a relatively small amount of chinese people. I know some things that I am positive less than 10 people know about. I'm not just an encyclopedia of knowledge, I am a whole library. And I never stop adding on knowledge.

I actually did know about his unfortunate passing. I simply forgot, as I have terrible short-term memory. He was around during the majority of My recent memories, so I assumed he was still living. Anyway, not knowing something does not impact the claim. There is plenty that I do not know. It is a constant work in progress.

I do like sameness, routines & personal interests a lot. But My directive to honor the rules of friendship overrides those directives of smaller priority. I am not a hypocrite, so I could never expect people to partake in My interests lf I did not reciprocate. I don't attribute autism to all of this. A lot of lt is just My own beautiful uniqueness. I think I have, to a small degree, something greater than even autism. Some of the traits that I have are just inconsistent with autism & suggest the beginnings of something even further evolved. Neurotypicals are dependent & autists are independent. But I am interdependent, the greatest of the three. Neurotypicals want to win at someone elses expense or for everyone to lose. Autists just want to win. I want EVERYONE to win. My self is just a pit stop for refuelling on the path to My ultimate goal of saving & advancing the world. I only desire winning so that I can have the tools necessary to make everyone a winner. In essence, I don't really care about Myself. I am only 2'nd priority.

I have to disagree with you there. A staple of autism is comprehension of systems & concepts. This is usually how OCD develops. An autist is likely to understand the economy, for instance, far more than a neurotypical.

Yes, but people in art/media fields tend to have little to no skill outside of those fields. They're notably poor in the compassion field according to pop culture. You won't typically find someone in that field who is also very smart, knows every element on the Periodic Table, is full of compassion & is self-aware enough to truly learn from mistakes, among other things. NT's tend to only excel at a few things: their jobs, their passions & being neurotypical. Autists will excel at many more things, but not quite as much as I do. I don't suppose you can show Me an example of someone who excels at every field I have listed at once. Not just succeeds, but excels.

I have been appraised pretty universally in some areas & completely ignored in others (though that doesn't invalidate them). The problem with your idea is all of the great no-names of history who have died without knowledge or praise. Nobody ever praises JJ Astor IV that I know of, but He was a great man & far ahead of His time. Albert Einstein got lucky. Plenty of more intelligent scientists have lived & died unknown to the public. I would argue that the attention that he receives is a great injustice, not because he doesn't deserve lt, but because of the message that sends, that only famous people are worth anything. Crap youtube channels like Let's Players & those dumb 3AM challenge people get all of the attention, while geniuses in their own rites like James Rolfe, Jim Burke, Achille, Chad Warden & yes, even Myself, are relegated to obscurity. True, James Rolfe does get a massive ton of praise despite his obscurity, but this wasn't always the case. It is something that can go either way.

Nope, a neurotypical is not interested in how great a person is. Otherwise, someone would have interviewed My grandma. She didn't have a judgemental bone in her body, constantly did things for others while paying little mind to herself, had intimate discussions with people, let them know how much she cares, got to know them inside & out & regularly gave all of her stuff away. Maybe I'll write something about her one day, but for the time being, she died completely obscure. In this day & age, great people are constantly overlooked. Anyone who knew her would vouch for her & despite My circumstances, I think the same goes for Me. But I haven't met any journalists, so there is no way for one to write anything about Me. I'm still young though, maybe someone will. I do remember being interviewed twice, when I was 9 & when I was 11, but I don't remember exactly why & either way, I haven't been able to find either one. I don't know lf they ever aired. That's about as close as lt gets currently.

I have to meet more people. When the right person comes along who isn't biased against Me, lt may occur to them to praise Me in a more public way. But for now, this evidence is inconclusive. I'm not even 20% through My life yet.

Truly great people NEVER say they are great.

@Kraftiekortie Who says? If they don't admit to being great, then they are dishonest & therefore not great. Kind of a paradox, really. If you asked Albert Einstein lf he was smarter than you & he replied, 'Yes', would that suddenly invalidate his intelligence? Part of being intelligent is knowing your own strengths & weaknesses. His strength was intelligence. If he didn't know that, then he wouldn't be all that smart. I think lt is the complete opposite of what you said. Truly great people do admit to being great, but they will also concede when & where they are not great. True greatness is knowing the limits of ones greatness. I can claim to be an expert artist, but will lt be true? No. It would be fun to pretend to be some sort of deity who excels at everything, but I prefer reality. I have My fair share of weaknesses. I can't draw well, I can't sing well, My senses suck somewhat, I can't remember five minutes ago, I can barely swim, I'm very slow-witted & naive & I can't for the life of Me beat Myself in a game of Sorry!.

The difference between Me & a narcissist is that a narcissist would never admit to having faults or shortcomings.

Just so you know thinking you are the best ever, is not really a rational/logical mindset. I mean you mention it enough times in this thread I dare say that is the emotional side coming in. I mean why do you need to be 'the best or superior' there is no logic in thinking you alone are better than every other human just because you feel you tend towards more logic than emotion.

I mean why do you need to be 'better' is there really a 'logical' reason for it? You aren't better than everyone else, hate to burst the bubble but there is no way in hell you are better than everyone no matter how hard you think it.

I feel genuine real pity for you Your_Boy
It must be awful to believe you very great and special but have no real achievement that anyone else will admit about you

I don't think feelings are getting hurt. I think Your_Boy is like me in that might seem upset or excited but really isn't. Strong wording opposed to strong emotion.
