I feel stupid when I'm around my dad or brother, they also both have AS, but they are so much more passionate about learning that it blows my mind. Both taught themselves how to build their own computers and install, fix, or even develop programs...etc
I cant absorb information like that and I don't have any special interests to even motivate me to do so but I also do a lot better in social situations so we all struggle in our own ways.
I may be one of the ones that uses complex words and/or sentence structure. That being said, I have severe issues maintaining concentration, all those words and concepts rattle around in my brain and are constantly distracting. That makes me seem pretty stupid off the screen since I am slow to respond to people in real time. You're right, we all have our deficits.
