The director Woody Allen is a genius who obviously isn't autistic. He has had plenty of romantic relationships.

No. Just check the Politics, Philosophy, and Religion subforum and you'll find lots of non-genius aspies.

StampySquiddy,

You are very smart-and nice, too! You're also a cat lover, which makes you a very compassionate person. People who have pets and love them are very nice people. You always have nice things to say about me, too.

Thank you IstominFan! I know you are very smart and caring as well, just based on your posts. I hope you are having a nice day :D .

Hello!
My name is alex, I'm new here and I'm a 17 years old boy who have been recently with a consulor/psychologist to help me deal/diagnose my severe anxiety problems (My main problem, if you ask, is that I'm afraid that something (specifically a sound) may disrupt my thoughts, in which it creates a great deal of constant anxiety and stress, which I think is pretty unusual :? ).
He was pretty impressed with my intelligence and I'm suspicious that he thinks that I have aspenger´s, because he asked me if I like things in order and he also wanted me to do an IQ test. I am 100% sure that I dont have any autistic tendecies (no social problems, dont care if my scedule is disrupted, have a lot of friends, I dont care if my stuff are not aligned). Im just capable of thinking very deeply, which I guess is my personality. I dunno.
What do you think? :?:
No, because a true genius isn't just intellectually genius. They also are emotional
'genius' etc. Most autistic people with Higher IQs don't have high EQs, etc. So you can't say they are true geniuses. Also, You're thinking of stereotypes. My stuff isn't aligned it's more than that. autistic people crave order. In a sense autistic people originate from order as psychopathy originates from chaos. You seem to be overeacting.. Also I'd like to mention that you seem to have intact ToM/Theory of Mind. So it's most likely that you're not autistic. It's more than just symptoms. We have a certain mindset and think a certain way. Talking with other autistic people is way different than talking to non-autistic people. Especially irl. They form sentences differently. From my experience. You can tell whether or not someone is autistic by how the talk. You probably aren't autistic. People with autism lack emotional intelligence to the point that they ahve a hard time telling what they're feeling at all. Again I am generalizing here. You're definetly overreacting. From what you said I'm surprised that you even found this place. Also, those with higher iqs often knack for memorization. Like if needed I can recite letter/number sequences that are 6+ digits with minimal effort. Autistic genius more comes from abilties that autism gives you. You can also recongize a lot of patterns in IQ tests. So in general it's more likely for an autistic person to get a higher score on a IQ test than non-autistic people. Also if you were autistic you wouldn't be able to tell if he thought you were autistic.
